Why does steam at 100 degrees Celsius do more damage to the skin than water at 100 degrees Celsius?

The heat content of steam is much greater than of liquid water at the same temperature. That makes that the speed of heat penetration INTO the (deeper parts of the) skin is higher and thus it's effects are more severe. Condensation on skin adds a lot of (condensation) heat to that.

What is the steam point of the Celsius scale?
at 100 degrees liquid water will go to steam and steam will go to liquid water
What is the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius on a thermometer?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and the melting point of water is 0 degrees Celsius
What is formed when water is heated to 100 degrees celsius?
Gas? Nearly there. Its actually called water vapour. In industrial situations it would be called steam.
Is 16 degrees Celsius warm or cold?
It is warm because water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and water boils at 100 degrees Celsius
Is 122 Celsius cold?
At 100 degrees Celsius usually water is boiling. 122 degrees Celsius is 251.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
What does water change to above 100 degrees Celsius?
Steam. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
Water becomes steam at what degrees?
100 degree Celsius
What is the steam point of the Celsius scale?
at 100 degrees liquid water will go to steam and steam will go to liquid water
What temperature does steam condense into water?
When it is under 100 degrees celsius
Is steam water vapor?
Yes water vapor is steam. It is formed when water heats up to 100 degrees Celsius.
What has to be broken before water will turn into steam?
The boiling point. (99.97 degrees Celsius)
At what temperature does pure water turn to steam?
Steam is created when water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, 373 degrees Kelvin or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. This is at the normal, standard temperature and atmosphere pressure.
What is the physical state of water at 100 degree C?
Water is a gas (steam) at 120 degrees Celsius.
What is the gaseous stage of water called?
It's water vapor or otherwise known as steam. Water changes to water vapor or steam at 212 degrees F and 100 degrees C. (F=Fahrenheit C=Celsius)
Is the temp of steam at 100 degrees celsius same as 100 degrees celsius water?
Leaving aside the effects of pressure, yes, the temperatures are the same. But the amount of heat (thermal energy) per gram, is much greater for the steam.
Steam point of water?
Water turns to steam (or in other words, it boils) at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
How much heat is required to convert 1.00 kg of water at 100 degrees Celsius to steam at 100 degrees Celsius?
Assuming standard atmospheric pressure, 2260 kilojoules.
