$\rightarrow$Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water. We know that both boiling water and steam, the temperature is around 100-degree celsius but steam causes severe burns. Let us explore the reason behind it.

Steam causes more severe burns.

• Steam has more energy than boiling water. It possesses the additional latent heat of vaporization.

• So, when steam falls on skin and condenses to produce water it gives out 22.5 x 105 J/kg more heat than boiling water at the same temperature.

• Steam has more energy than boiling water. Therefore, burns produced by steam are more severe than those produced by boiling water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Steam will produce more severe burns than boiling water because steam has more heat energy than water due to its latent heat of vaporisation.

Explanation:

• - Now, as water is in a gaseous state in steam, it can be given further heat and its temperature will increase, so steam always has higher temperatures than boiling water. Hence we can say that steam produces more severe burns than boiling water.
