observations.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Water as ice has a cooling effect whereas water as steam may cause severe burns. ... Whereas, when temperature is increased to 100oC, water is converted to steam. Water as steam has more latent heat than water in liquid and solid form. Hence, water as steam can cause severe burns while water as ice has a cooling effect.

Answer 2
