when we give heat to any substance , it uses the heat in 2 ways. the first to change its phase and the second one to rise its temperature. that's why hot water gives heat to our skin only for rising its temperature but the vapour first release heat to change its phase into hot water then releases heat to reduce its temperature.

Answer:
Explanation: Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water because the LATENT HEAT of steam is greater than water. It means that steam has greater heat energy than boiling water which causes more severe burns.
