Question

what produces more severe burns, boiling water or steam ?????????​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steam causes more severe burns.

Steam causes more severe burns.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.

hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
