Why does boiled water steam more when it is taken off the heat?

When water boils, it is because all of the molecules are being provided with the energy necessary to change phase, from liquid to gas (water vapor).
The addition of energy (heating) allows the molecules to break their bonds and form water vapor, commonly known as steam (a process known as evaporation). The atoms in the water vapor carry away this heat energy as they rise higher into the air, before quickly losing this energy to the surrounding air.
The molecules still inside the bulk of the water should theoretically all do this, if other factors didn't interfere. The energy is transferred from most of the molecules into the others; these are the ones that evaporate. So as these molecules evaporate, they take heat from the rest of the water with them. The convection currents in the air absorb this heat and prevent its return, and your water cools down.

What is steaming?
Steam is hot vapor water that turns invisible after expanding. Steam is also a game distributor/library on your computer. When we boiled water, water get vaporized and they produces steam.
When you take heat from water it turns into?
Boiling water will produce steam (water vapour). Eventually, if boiled long enough, all the water will have evaporated, with the risk of the bottom of the pan or kettle melting.
A kind of engine that uses water steam or heat?
A steam engine uses water, steam, and heat.
What gas plants use to produce chemical energy?
Gas contains potential chemical energy because it contains carbon and hydrogen. Both these elements can react with oxygen taken from the air to produced carbon dioxide, water vapour and a lot of heat. The heat can be used to drive a heat engine (usually a turbine), either directly or via water boiled into steam.
What is steam used for?
Steam is often used for power generation. Apply heat to water, steam (pressure) then used to turn a turnbine and generate electricity. Imagine if you boiled water in an encloded pot (air-tight lid). The pressure will build and you can use this pressure to generate power.
What is the use of latent heat in vaporization?
Calculating heat absorbed or released when any gas / liquid transformation takes place. I'm not an engineer, but I would imagine these calculations are performed in designing steam plants to make electricity. Water must be boiled, the steam runs thru a steam turbine, then it is condensed into water and is recycled ... boiledto steam ... thru turbine ... condensed etc.
Relationship of temperature of boiling water and temperature of steam?
In the case where heat is being added to generate steam from a container of water, as long as there is water still in the container, the temperature remains constant. It takes energy for water to change state into steam and all of the heat added goes to performing this task so the temperature stays the same, 212 degF (100 degC) at atmospheric pressure. While the water is boiling, the steam is "saturated," meaning any loss of heat would cause some of the steam to condense back into water. Once all of the water has been boiled and changed state, any additional heat supplied will cause the temperature to increase and the steam is "superheated," that is above its saturation temperature.
How does natural gas make electricity?
Natural gas is ignited and the heat is used to boiled water and generate steam. Steam is then forced through impeller turbines spinning them in turn spinning Generator Coils that Produce the electricity.
When water evaporates what happens to the molecules?
When the heat is added to water, the atoms in the water particle get enough energy, they end up being so poweful, they are able to pull away from other atoms and bounce around. It's sort of like heating water, the water is getting boiled and the water turns to steam. When energy/heat is taken away from the gas form, the steam turns back into a water form. To make it simple, The molecules get energy from heat.
Difference between sensible heat and latent heat?
Sensible heat is heat supplied or taken away and causes an immediate change in temperature without changing the state. While latent heat is heat supplied or taken away and causes a change in state without change in temperature. This difference can be applied to the certain properties of water/steam. This is called the thermodynamics properties of steam.
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water into steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
What evaporates faster a cup of water by the sun or a cup of water boiled?
a cup of water that is boiled since it gives more heat.
