Steam of indoor objects

Steam of indoor use electrical objects such as a kettle, for example, boil water above one hundred degrees celcius. This steam is water vapour collecting in the air. Once the water vapour has condenced (cooled), maybe by collecting on a cold window or moving into cooler air, it begins to cool until it is under boiling point and slowly drips into water/dampness.

Steam of Clouds

Clouds are formed by the evaporation (turning into steam) of sea water. The water vapour collects into white bulges in the sky. When the clouds have been pushed by the wind till they cooled they would begin to condense and form into rain.

The bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen get weaker, causing the elements to drift farther apart. This is turn lowers the density (because now the molecule takes up more area) and allows it to be lighter than air. This is also why steam rises and water falls.

Water turns to steam when it absorbs enough heat energy to break apart the polar bonds that keep it in liquid state. This takes about 80 calories per gram of water per degree Celsius.

By the heat when the water rises up to the sun the rain starts and it hits lava and makes it so warm that it turns into steam hahaha :D

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.


Is boiling water to make steam a physical change?

No. (its still water).


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.


Can fire be turned into electricity?

Not directly, but fire can be used to help make electricity, for example fire can be used to boil water and make steam, steam can be used to power generators which in turn make electricity.


How can you make water into electricity?

The vast majority of power stations heat water to form high pressure steam. This steam is used to drive a turbine which in turn drives a generator. The generator outputs electricity!

What happens to energy at its boiling point?

They make the water into steam. Part of it is transferred into latent heat, which is heat water requires to become steam. As you keep heating the water (assuming it's a closed flask), then eventually all the water will become steam.


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.

Why does steam form?

Steam, as in water steam, is formed when water reaches over the boiling point (100 degrees centigrade). The water will start to evaporate, to make water vapour, and then join the air particles in the air. Whenever there is a cold surface nearby, (such as a window) the water vapour will hit the surface and then condense (turn back into a liquid). Condensing is a process where the water vapour is cooled down to make a liquid. This process is sometimes recognised as boiling and condensing.

What is the difference between water heater and calorifier?

The water heater has an electric heating element that is responsible to make the water hot if submerged to water. While the Calorifier is composed of steam coil where the steam from boiler passes through, is responsible to make the water hot if it get contact to the steam coil.
