Question

Raveena was making tea in a kettle . Suddenly,she felt intense heat from the puff of steam gushing out of the spout of the kettle . She wondered whether the temperature of the steam was higher than that of the water boiling in the kettle. Pls comment and write the Ans ???

Answer 1

Steam has hidden stored extra heat in form of Latent heat. Latent heat of vaporisation =22.5 kg/j. This means that steam is more hot an dangerous than boiling water.

Answer 2

when the water boils it has some heat energy but steam is formed from the heat energy of the boiling water and this phenomenona takes place of the whole water so steam has the heat energy of boiling water and latent heat of vaporisation that is 22 into 10 to the power 5 joules so steam has more heat

hope helped
