Steam is a gas. It is water vapor - so water in the gaseous state.
There is no name for it, the substance is either a liquid or a gas ( like water or steam), there is no inbetween, the process of turning a liquid into a gas is called evaporation and the process of turning a gas into a liquid is called condesation.
Evaporation is the process of turning liquid into a gas. Examples of these are the evaporation of water when it is boiled and the evaporation of alcohol at room temperature.
An example of liquid to gas would be water turning to steam without a change in temperature. This is known as vaporization.
evaporation, heating a liquid will do this. put a pot of water on the stove and watch the steam come up, thats a liquid turning into a gas.
Freeze steam (water vapor - a gas) and you get ice (a solid).
The scientific term for the process of water turning to steam is "vaporization" or "evaporation." This phase change occurs when water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid state and become a gas.
The gas may be burned in a jet turbine, turning the electrical generator. and/or burned to heat water into steam- which turns a turbine, which turns a generator.
Steam is the gaseous state of water, formed when water is heated to its boiling point and vaporizes.
Steam is produced by boiling water to its vapor phase. This is typically done in a boiler by applying heat to the water, resulting in the water reaching its boiling point and turning into steam. The generated steam can then be used in various applications such as power generation, heating, or industrial processes.
Geysers primarily expel steam and hot water rather than gas. However, they can release small amounts of gases, such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, that are dissolved in the geothermal water. The explosive eruption of water and steam occurs due to the rapid buildup of pressure from heated water turning into steam. Thus, while gas can be present, it is not the main component of a geyser's eruption.
It is a gas.
Steam is gas. Gaseous water to be exact.
