Relationship of temperature of boiling water and temperature of steam?

In the case where heat is being added to generate steam from a container of water, as long as there is water still in the container, the temperature remains constant. It takes energy for water to change state into steam and all of the heat added goes to performing this task so the temperature stays the same, 212 degF (100 degC) at atmospheric pressure.
While the water is boiling, the steam is "saturated," meaning any loss of heat would cause some of the steam to condense back into water. Once all of the water has been boiled and changed state, any additional heat supplied will cause the temperature to increase and the steam is "superheated," that is above its saturation temperature.

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.
What do you call the temperature that water turns into steam?
It is called boiling point.
Why does the steam cause more injuries than boiling heat?
Water that is boiling can only achieve 100 degrees Celsius (at sea level). Once turned into steam it can achieve at lot higher temperature. (Super heated steam).
How is steam produced?
Steam is a gas stage of water. You can produce steam by heating water to boiling point.
What is the temperature of boiling water at sea level?
The temperature of boiling water at sea level is 100 The temperature of boiling water at sea level is 211.149°F.
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.
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.
What do you call the temperature that water turns into steam?
It is called boiling point.
What is the meaning of super heat?
Superheated steam is steam at a temperature higher than water's boiling point
What happens to the temperature of boiling water if you turn up the heat on the stove?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius. The water will evaporate at boiling point. By the way what do you mean "what happens to the temperature of boiling water" if you think about it, it does not make sense.
What does the boiling point of water mean?
The temperature it mst be when it changes from a liquid to a gas (water -> steam)
Does increasing the boiling point of water with additives also increase the vapor or steam temperature?
no
Why is steam hotter then boiling water?
because steam is boiling water is hot it turns into a gas therefore you get steam
Why steam causes more severe burns than boiling water?
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.
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.
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.
How do you turn steam into a liquid?
Water turns into steam by boiling, which means the water temperature rises above the boiling point (about 100°C in most cases, but it depends on the air pressure). Steam turns back into water by condensing, which means the temperature drops back below the boiling point.
