Question

define latent heat of vaporisation. between steam and hot boiling water. which could cause more serious burns?. give reason​

Answer 1

Answer:

Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat absorbed when 1 kg of liquid changes into vapor at constant temperature. When a liquid vaporize at the normal boiling point the temperature of the liquid will not rise beyond the temperature of the boiling point.

Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water even though both are at 100 C because steam gives more heat ( 540 cal/ g ) than water.

Answer 2

Answer:

when the water is vaporised the water is going to another stage that stage is called vaporisation
