Question

(Tex) What produces more severe burns(/tex)

boiling water or steam. ?¿

Answer 1

Heya❤️

Here's your answer !!

STEAM produces more severe burns because there is an extra heat is present in it as compared to boiling water which is called as latent heat of vaporization. Also it has more kinetic energy.Therefore,Steam productes more sever burns as compared to water.

Hope it helps !!

Answer 2

Answer:

• When water changes into steam at its boiling point, it absorbs latent heat of vaporisation (which is 22.5 x 109 joules per kilogram).
• This means that steam at 100°C contains much more heat (in the form of latent heat) than boiling water at the same temperature of 100°C.
• So, when steam falls on our skin and condenses to form water, it gives out 22.5 x 105 joules per kilogram of more heat than boiling water at the same temperature.

• Since steam gives out much more heat than boiling water, it causes more severe burns.
