Which one has high vapour pressure water or alcohol?
alcohol has high vapour pressure than water at room temperature.
Is Liquid water less dense or more dense?
Liquid water is more dense than ICE , and More dense than water vapour(steam). Liquid water is at its most dense at 2 oC. Water on freezing to ice expands by about 10% of its volume. This is because of the lattice arrangement of water molecules in ice., which does not occur in liquid water., Hence ice floats on water. (icebergs).
Is the density of steam more or less than the density of water?
Humid air is lighter and less dense than dry air. Steam is water as a gas. Gaseous water is less dense than dry air.
Why does steam take up more space than liquid water?
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
Does steam has highest latent heat than boiling 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.
Why is the latent heat of vapourization of steam is more than that of boiling water?
Because steam is hotter than boiling water.
Why is there steam above the hot water?
There's steam because the water is hotter than the air above.
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.
What cause more burns steam or boiling water?
Steam. Liquids turn to solids when they reach a temperature, so steam has to be hotter than boiling water.
Why does the shower produce more steam than a bath?
In a bath there is less hot water vapour condensing into particles for you to see. Steam is made up of water vapour that you can't see. More fog is produced from a shower because cold air surrounding the hot water from the shower causes water vapour to change into small water droplets called fog not steam.
Why does boiling water overflow?
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.
When water boils what is in the bubbles?
The bubbles in boiling water are steam or vaporized water. The bubbles initially do not reach the surface of the billing fluid as the colder water away from the hot bottom cools the steam turning it back to liquid. WHen all the water is at 100oC the bubbles reach the top.
Why does steam cause more severe skin burns than liquid water at its boiling point?
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.
Why are steam burns on the skin so severe?
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.
Can steam ever be hotter than 100 degrees Celsius?
Yes, but not at atmospheric pressure (which is the pressure of your kitchen). Steam can be hotter than 100 degrees celsius under pressures higher than this.
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.
Is Water Hotter Than Venus?
No! The Hottest Water On Earth is 407 celsius and Venus Is Hotter Than That! You Can't Get Water Hotter Than Venus!
