This is so because when a 100 degree steam comes in contact with our skin it converts into water , energy required to convert in water is taken from our skin in form of latent heat which causes far more severe burns than putting our hand in 100 degrees water :) . dont try this experimentally .
if it's steam, its higher than 100 degrees. Water only boils at 100 degrees but that doesn't mean that the steam is the same temperature; its hotter.
It doesn't, it's likely that the steam is a higher temperature
Because steam contains the latent heat of evaporation, which is 2260 kJ per kg of water.
At the boiling point, 100° C
Vaporization is the phase transition that takes place when liquid water turns to steam. The type of vaporization that occurs in this case is boiling.
it is the condensed water vapour and gas.
Definitely. Even better than in cooler water.
Steam, which can't be seen, not to be confused with the white clouds that come from a boiling kettle that is water vapour or condensed steam. If you look closely at the spout of a boiling kettle you will see that close to the spout it is clear that is steam or water in its gas form.
Water that is boiling can only achieve 100 degrees Celsius (at sea level). Once turned into steam it can achieve at lot higher temperature. (Super heated steam).
It will be the boiling point of water: 100oC
Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.
No. When water reaches 100 Celsius it becomes steam and is no longer boiling water.
Because when in contact with human skin steam condenses into boiling water. This causes the serious damages seen in steam burns.
The boiling point. (99.97 degrees Celsius)
Steam. Liquids turn to solids when they reach a temperature, so steam has to be hotter than boiling water.
It can be anywhere in between 60C and 100C (boiling point).
Water is a gas (steam) at 120 degrees Celsius.
Steam is produced whenever water boils, which occurs at 100 degrees Celsius at standard pressure and temperature (boiling point changes at altitudes because of the pressure change, remember).
because steam is boiling water is hot it turns into a gas therefore you get steam
when the water is heated at 100 c it becomes steam. because the boiling point of water is 100 c.
