How much does steam expand?

Water weighs 1kg per liter. If it is all turned to steam you will have 1kg of steam. Water expands to nearly 1700 times its original volume at 212 degrees.


Why does steam come out of a fresh bag of popcorn?

Popcorn pops because of the water content in the kernels. Heating the kernels, whether by microwave or by some other means, turns the water into steam, which expands and breaks the kernels. Admittedly, this is a small amount of water, but it doesn't take much steam, to pop a kernel.


What happens to water at one hundred degrees centigrade?

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.


How much does water expand at 500 degrees?

That depends on what temperature it started at. Whatever scale of temperature you are using, water will be steam at 500 degrees.


How much does steam expand at 1200 degrees?

According to Swede Systems Flashover training it expands 4200 times its original volume. So one gallon of water, introduced to a 1200 degree room would expand to 4200 gallons of steam. I have been unable to confirm this as of yet however. Please elaborate if you have additional information. Thank you.

Why in steam turbine maintain steam temp 535 degree Celsius?

IT is not accurately 535 c.... The water should be in the super heated condition... So we go to like a higher temperature region and also higher pressure region to change the steam as super heated steam and then the steam is allowed to expand in the steam turbine... now the power gained is much higher than the water flowes at saturated condition like (200 c - 300 c )... so only we are moving to higher temperature and higher pressure region


How much steam will 100 lbs of water make?

100 lbs of steam. The volume that the steam will occupy will depend on the pressure.


Is steam hotter than boiling water?

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.
