What happens if you continue to heat water after it becomes steam?

Water at standard atmospheric pressure cannot exist in the liquid state at temperatures greater than 212 F (100 C). If you continue to apply heat to a pot of boiling water, that energy is being used to make the phase transition from liquid to steam. Assuming you were able to contain the steam and water in the same container without increasing pressure (as pressure increases, so does the boiling/saturation temperature), the temperature of both the water and steam would remain 212 F until all the liquid water had evaporated. This mixture of liquid state and gas state water is called a saturated mixture, and can only exist at the boiling/saturation temperature for a given pressure.
Once this saturated mixture has completely become a vapor, the temperature of the steam will begin to increase as you continue to apply heat to it.

When steam becomes water what are the particles of matter?
When steam (or "water vapor") becomes water, the particles are condensating or becoming condensation. This is because the particles are cooling down, thereore not moving fast enough to remain a gas; so it becomes a liquid.
Water becomes steam at what degrees?
100 degree Celsius
Why does hot water steam when it's thrown out of a cup in a cold temperature?
Hot water always steams, but when it is cold, the steam quickly converts to water droplets, and thus becomes visible. Pure steam is invisible.
How is water is used in nuclear power generation?
Water is used to transfer heat from the nuclear fuel in the reactor to the steam generators where it transfers heat to the secondary water to make steam. The steam is then used to turn turbines. Water from an external source is also used to condense the steam from the turbine exhaust, and this water is then returned to the steam generators to continue the cycle.
How does gas power plant work?
Natural gas is burned beneath boilers containing water. The water boils and becomes steam. The expanding steam spins turbines which convert the rotary motion into electricity using generators. The steam is condensed back into water, more gas is burned, and the process is repeated. Essentially, the chemical energy of the gas is converted into mechanical energy in the generator via steam which becomes electrical energy.
What happens to steam before it becomes water vapour?
Steam is water vapour - just a very hot form of it.
What happens when you boil Nestle pure life water?
It boils and becomes steam.
What happens to water molecules that move with higher energy?
The faster a molecule moves, that hotter it becomes. If water becomes hot enough, it evaporates into steam.
When steam becomes cold it is?
Water
What does liquid water become when it absorbs enough heat?
It becomes steam SIMPLE
When steam becomes cold it turns into?
As steam cools it reverts back to fluid-- water.
Why deposits form in the steam vents of irons in some parts of the country?
Since steam is water evaporating, water that becomes steam may not be clean. So, when the steam goes thru, some of the dirt may come off along with the steam when the steam becomes water.Creating deposits in the steam vents.
What happens to the water vapor in the air when the air cools?
It condenses and it becomes liquid

Is bottled water liquid?
Yes the water is In fact liquid. But the bottle is not. If you freeze the water it becomes a solid. If you steam the water it becomes a gas.
Water becomes steam at what degrees?
100 degree Celsius
What happens when water change into steam?
evaporation
