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.
Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?
The particles have most energy in particles in steam. In a gas. the particles move more freely, Therefore, there is more energy in the steam. :D LOL
Does steam have more energy per unit mass than boiling water?
Yes
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.
Does it take more energy to heat cold water to 212 F than it does to change 212 F water to steam?
yes. it do.

Does steam have more energy than water?
No. Assuming you have the same mass of each steam has more energy than hot water, because water needs to gain energy in order to evaporate.
What has the more heat energy at 100 degrees Celsius water or steam?
steam. It has to go through a phase change, which takes additional energy to get there.
Does steam have more kinetic energy than water?
yes becuase when the molecules in steam move faster than molecules in water and this creates more pressure
Which contains more heat energy water at 373K or steam at 373K Why?
it is steam because it occupies latent heat of fusion ..............
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 have more energy per unit mass than boiling water?
Yes
Why is a steam burn worse then a water burn?
A steam burn is generally more severe than a water burn because steam carries more heat energy than water due to its high temperature. Steam can cause more damage to the skin upon contact and penetrate deeper into the tissue, resulting in a more serious burn.
What is ordered from the least thermal energy to the most A ice to steam to water B water to ice to steam C ice to water to steam D steam to water to ice?
Ice to water to steam.
How is thermal energy transformed into kinetic energy?
The thermal energy could be used to produce steam from water. This steam drives steam turbine producing kinetic energy.
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.
