Technically speaking steam has a higher temperature, but boiling water often has more heat energy per volume.
Steam starts at 100degrees C, which is the absolute maximum temperature of boiling water, but steam can be much much hotter, all the way up to thousands of degrees.
However, steam as a gas is much less dense than water, and so steam at 100C will injure a person much less than water at 100C.
Yes. At standard pressure, water boils at 212 degrees F (Or 100 Celsius). Above 212, water becomes steam- and may be MUCH hotter than 212. But boiling water will never be hotter than 212.
steam burns more than boiling water because it has extra energy in the form of latent heat of vapourization.
Steam. Liquids turn to solids when they reach a temperature, so steam has to be hotter than boiling water.
It is not really more. Steam is the gas form of water, and thus hotter than the liquid form. 1000C (at 1au at sea level) is the boiling point of water. 400C water will not burn you, but 990C will. Steam at 1010C will burn you, but steam at 5000C would burn worse. So your answer is steam is hotter, but how much more of a burn you get also has to do with the amount of steam or water you come in contact with, and the temperature the steam or water is.
Boiling water is by definition a temperature of 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), because it is moving through the phase change. Steam is water vapor and already past the phase change from liquid to gas and so can be a much higher temperature. The higher the temperature, the more severe the burn.
steam is the gaseous transformation that takes place on heating water to its boiling point.Steam will give you more burn than the water boiling at 100 c as it has the latent heat of vapourisation in addition to the heat of fusion.Basically it has more heat content in the steam state than boiling water state.
Water boils at a hotter temperature than it freezes in any scale.
Because steam is hotter than boiling water.
Steam. Liquids turn to solids when they reach a temperature, so steam has to be hotter than boiling water.
Hot oil is hotter than steam. When the water hits the oil, steam is created instantaneously at the oil-water interface. The steam expands violently, creating the apparent explosion.
It is not really more. Steam is the gas form of water, and thus hotter than the liquid form. 1000C (at 1au at sea level) is the boiling point of water. 400C water will not burn you, but 990C will. Steam at 1010C will burn you, but steam at 5000C would burn worse. So your answer is steam is hotter, but how much more of a burn you get also has to do with the amount of steam or water you come in contact with, and the temperature the steam or water is.
Hot water has a maximum temperature of 100 degrees centigrade. If it goes beyond that it is now steam. Steam burns are more dangerous because they are much hotter than water.
Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.
Salt water has a higher boiling point than pure water. This means that the water gets a little hotter before coming off as steam; if the boiling point is reached, the food is cooking in water that is a little hotter than 100 degrees Celsius. The difference isn't really large, and it depends on the amount of salt in the water.
There's steam because the water is hotter than the air above.
Boiling water is by definition a temperature of 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), because it is moving through the phase change. Steam is water vapor and already past the phase change from liquid to gas and so can be a much higher temperature. The higher the temperature, the more severe the burn.
it boils If you mean "one-hundred degrees Celsius (degrees C)," then that is water's boiling point. What this means is that this is the maximum temperature water can be before it turns to steam. Steam can be much hotter than water because of this, making steam burns more serious than water burns.
No! Technically, it can turn to steam, but the water itself can not become hotter than its boiling point. The above is true. But ... Remember that the boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the saturated vapour pressure is equal to the applied pressure. Increase the pressure and the boiling point will rise. If the questioner meant the boiling point at normal atomospheric presure then you could make it boil at a higher temperature by heating it in a pressure vessel with a release valve, such as in an old-fashioned presure cooker.
No se?
