Is wood reversible?
It depends on how you bend the wood. For example, if you steam it, it is reversible. But if you cut notches, it is not reversible.
What is boiling water and steam gushing into the air at regular intervals?
Boiling Water + Steam x Gushing in the air = Geiser...
Why steam is used as boiling source in steam distillation?
Otherwise it wouldn't be a STEAM destillation, would it?
Is a steam from a kettle reversible?
Yes. Once it cools it'll turn into water again.
What do you call when water turns into steam?
Vaporization (by boiling)
Is boiling water to make steam a permanent change?
Boiling is a reversible process.
Is boiling water irreversible?
From a thermodynamics standpoint, it depends how the process is carried out. If the system (the water) and the surroundings remain close to equilibrium during the entire process then the water boils reversibly. So if the change in temperature is approximately zero throughout the process and the process takes an infinitely long amount of time to carry out you can reversibly boil water.If you were asking whether water vapor can turn back into liquid water, then yes the process of turning water into water vapor is reversible.
A physical change creates a new substance and is not reversible?
Nearly, a physical change creates a substance and this is reversible. For example, ice-water. Water-steam. These are all reversible. A chemical change is irreversible. For example, baking a cake; you cannot get the original ingredients back again.
Why cooking food an irreversible change?
The definition of a chemical change is when one or more new substances have been made. Also chemical change cannot be reversed by simple physical means e.g. if the change was brought about by heating then cooling the product won't get you the original substances. So boiling water is not a chemical change (as you can re-condense the steam) whereas boiling an egg IS as the protein has been permanently changed (denatured).

Why is steam hotter then boiling water?
because steam is boiling water is hot it turns into a gas therefore you get steam
Is water irreversible?
Nope. If you turn the heat off so the temperature drops below 100C, you will have non-boiling water. When the steam's temperature drops below the vaporization temperature it will return to liquid state.
What is the steam ingein?
A steam engine is a heat engine. A steam engine uses boiling water to produce mechanical work. It uses the steam from the boiling water as its working fluid.
Why is steam made when boiling water?
Steam is the gaseous form of water above its boiling point. When you see 'steam', that is not really steam, it's warm-water droplets in the air.
When water turns into steam is it a chemical change?
no, physical. The steam can return to water if cooled. Chemical changes are irreversible.
Is steam reversible?
Yes. Steam is produced in a steam generator (boiler), used to power an engine (or turbine), condensed, and returned to the boiler as feedwater.
