Question

Why are the burns due to steam (vapour) more dangerous than the boiling water?

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is because steam has more energy than boiling water in the form of latent heat.

Answer 2

Answer:

Burns due to steam is more dangerous than the boiling water.

Explanation:

Water can be found in all the three forms of water i.e ice, water, and steam.  Ice is the coolest form of water and steam is the hottest form of water. When we provide heat to the ice it will convert into water (liquid) and when we add more heat to it it will get converted to steam. Hence, steam has more energy than a liquid and solid form of water. Hence, burns due to steam are more dangerous than boiling water.
