Question

Burns caused by steam are more serious than Burns casued by boiling water​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steam has more energy than boiling water. It possesses the additional latent heat of vaporization.

So, when steam falls on skin and condenses to produce water it gives out 22.5 x 105 J/kg more heat than boiling water at the same temperature.

Steam has more energy than boiling water. Therefore, burns produced by steam are more severe than those produced by boiling water.
