Question

Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water ?why

Answer 1

Hi friend ,

Steam produce more severe burns than boiling water because steam take more energy than boiling water in the form of latent heat of vaporisation . Latent heat of vaporisation refers to the amount of heat energy that is required to change 1 kg of liquid into gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point .

Answer 2

steam produces more burns while boiling water in the same temperature because steam has more energy that boiling water at the same temperature. the particles in steam have more intermolecular space between them due to which they possess more kinetic energy, but on the other hand boiling water has comparatively less intermolecular space than steam due to which it posesses less kinetic energy. also the steam possess more heat in form of latent heat of vaporization, i.e., amount of heat energy required to change 1kg of liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.
so having more energy and heat, steam keeps the capacity to burn more severely than boiling water at same temperature.

hope this helps you.
