Question

steam produces more severe bunks than boiling water predict why?

Answer 1

this is because steam contain latent heat of vapourization that is about 540 kcal/mol which is consumed when water get converted to steam but boiling water dose not contain it.hence more amount of heat is present in water than boiling water even if the temperatures are same

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Temperature of boiling point is 100 °C
2. When the boiling water absorbs latent heat, it converts to steam (water vapour).
3. So this team has more energy (heat content) then boiling water.
4. So steam produces more severe burns than boiling water.
