Question

Which produces severe burns , boiling water or steam ?
explain

Answer 1

Steam will produce more severe burns than boiling water because steam has more heat energy than water due to its latent heat of vaporisation. Steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, (hidden heat)than boiling water.
.......l hope this helps u pls mark as brainliest

Answer 2

Hi friend,

Steam produces more severe burns than the boiling water because steam has more heat energy comparatively to boiling water due to the latent heat of vapourisation and the steam contains more heat comparatively to boiling water that is in the form of latent heat of fusion.

Points-

<>Latent heat of fusion is the heat that we provide in the process of melting to a solid is called as latent heat of fusion.

<>Latent heat of vapourisation is that the temperature does not change during boiling although if u continuously heat the liquid.

That's all.


Hope it helps...
