Question

what produces more severe burns boiling water and steam explain why

Answer 1

steam this is becoz steam is created above the boiling point of water.
also the steam is produced after further and further heating of water
pls mark me as brainliest if the answer is correct

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.
