Explanation:
Steam has more energy than boiling water. It possesses the additional latent heat of vaporization. Therefore, steam at 100 C is better for heating purposes than boiling water.

✒ Steam at 100°C is better for heating purposes than water at 100°C because the energy of 1 kg of steam at 100°C is 22.6 x 10^5 joule which is more than that of 1 kg of water at the same temperature.
✒ When the state of water changes from its liquid state to gaseous state it gain the latent heat of vaporisation.
✒ So the steam we obtain will contain heat energy due to temp 100°c plus the energy due to latent heat.
✒ Therefore,steam at 100°C contains more energy than water at 100°C.
