Latent heat of condensation.
the steam will give off a large amount of heat as it condenses.
A steam burn is an example of latent heat, because beside the heat released by the steam itself, a part of it condenses, turning into water, which in turn releases heat too.

It will make your hand wet
The latent heat of condensation of steam is 2260 Joules per gram (539.3 cals/g). So the amount of heat released by 12.4 g = 12.4*2260 Joules = 28,024 Joules or 6687 cals.
Latent heat of condensation.
with the pressure we can increse it to 270 deg centigrade
540 kcal
the steam will give off a large amount of heat as it condenses.
Actually when steam condenses it is loosing heat. As steam rises it cools and falls back down with gravity. I.E. a steam boiler heat system Boils water to till it turns into a gaseous mixture of water droplets and rises to a radiator to heat. As the radiator absorbs the heat from the steam It condenses and returns to the boiler through the same riser pipe to the boiler.

It condenses and turns into vapour which is known as "steam".
dissipates
It condenses and becomes liquid.
It really depends on the temperature of the steam and temperature of the cold surface. 250 degree steam hitting a 50 or 60 degree surface will just turn back into water and droplets can be seen almost immediately. 1000+ degree steam hitting a frozen surface may cause a loud bang and eventually turn back into water.
Flash steam is steam that is produced when high temperature high pressure water is released to the atmosphere.
