Explanation:

Specific heat is amount of heat required to change temperature of one kg of substance by one degree Celsius. ... Thus when water gets converted to steam it absorbs latent heat thus its heat content ( enthalpy) increase not the temperature. While water from 25 to 100 degree Celsius ...

Answer:

Even at the same temperature, steam and boiling water don’t contain the same amount of energy. Water has a high heat of vaporization—it takes 40 kilojoules per mole to get water to boil into steam after it reaches boiling temperature, five times the energy needed to bring it from freezing to boiling temperature.

This is because once you get water to the boiling temperature, you still must overcome the relatively strong hydrogen bonds that hold it together as a liquid.

High-grade fevers range from about 103 F-104 F. Dangerous temperatures are high-grade fevers that range from over 104 F-107 F or higher (extremely high fevers are also termed hyperpyrexia). Acute fever is a sudden onset of an illness that produces the symptom of fever, an increase in the body's temperature set point.
