Latent heat of vaporisation- the amount of heat energy is required to change 1kg of a liquid into vapours at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point is called Latent heat of vaporisation
When water at 100°c is converted into steam at 100°c, it absorbs energy equal to the latent heat of vaporisation thus, steam at 100°c has more heat and kinetic energy than water, and hence steam produces more severe burns than boiling water
