Question

steam produces more severe burn than doing water predict why

Answer 1

Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water because Steam has more energy
i.e. latent heat of vaporization than boiling water.(latent heat of vaporization of water is 22.6 ×10^5 . Thus to vaporize it more heat is required.)So steam at 100℃ causes more severe burn than water on the same temperature.
