Question

why does steam cause more severe burn as compared to water at 100ç​

Answer 1

Boiling water contains only a specific amount of heat energy required for it to boil. However, as steam is formed from boiling water, it contains the heat energy of boiling water, along with the latent heat of vaporization. Hence, as steam has more heat energy, it can cause more severe burns than boiling water. hope it helps you

Steam causes more severe burns bacause it has extra heat content due to the absorbtion of latent heat of vaporization
