What is the energy released when steam condenses to water?
Latent heat of condensation.
Why steam causes more severe burns than boiling water. give reason.?
So, steam must lose its heat of vaporization. Think about how it would lose it. Where would all that energy go? It condenses by inputting all the potential energy it has by being a gas into the skin of the person who touches it. Therefore even though steam only has slightly more kinetic energy than almost boiling water, it has a lot more total energy.
In order for water as steam to become water as liquid it has to?
undergo the process of condensation. This occurs when the water vapor cools and loses energy, causing the molecules to come together and form liquid water droplets. Condensation can happen when steam comes into contact with a cooler surface, such as when steam from a shower condenses on a bathroom mirror.
Is steam a fuel?
No. it is an energy repository. Fuels of various kinds are used to heat water into steam. the steam has more energy than the water.
Why steam is more dangerous than boiling water?
steam scalds are more serious than boiling water scalds because steam when condenses onto the more cooler skin, it loses latent heat of vaporization (to become water at 100 degrees Celsius) also it loses thermal capacity to become equal to the temperature of the skin (37 degrees Celsius). boiling water loses only thermal capacity as it cools down to 37 degrees Celsius from 100 degree Celsius.
Is steam condensation?
Yes, it is. When steam condenses into water, the water molecules lose energy and this energy is transferred to the surroundings. Loosing energy is exothermic.
Does steam gain or lose energy when it condenses to form water?
lose
What is the energy released when steam condenses to water?
Latent heat of condensation.
How is the thermal energy produced by the furnace transferred to the water?
by the way the steam condenses back to water
What happens to water when heat energy is reduced?
It condenses forming water.
What Happens to particles when steam 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.
What are thermal energy advantagaes?
its in a cycle. water is heated to produce steam which spins the turbine. and when steam condenses it forms water which can be evaporated again
What happens to water vapor when heat energy is reduced?
It condenses forming water.
Using the particle model explain what happens to water as it is gradually heated and changes from ice to steam?
the ice melts and condenses into steam
What happens when steam from a kettle or hot shower touches a cool tile or mirror in what way is water changing its state?
The steam condenses to form water droplets on the cooler surface.
What happens when water vapor condenses into liquid water?
Condensation
What water does just before it turns to steam?
It condenses and turns into vapour which is known as "steam".
