373.15 K = 100°C = 212°F = boiling point of water at sea level
Steam at that temperature causes severe burns because it is very hot, and because water is very efficient at transferring heat. The steam also has a significantly greater amount of heat than liquid water just below the boiling point, because the steam also has the latent heat of vaporization.

Why steam causes more severe burns than boiling water. give reason.?
So, steam must lose its heat of vaporization. Think about how it would lose it. Where would all that energy go? It condenses by inputting all the potential energy it has by being a gas into the skin of the person who touches it. Therefore even though steam only has slightly more kinetic energy than almost boiling water, it has a lot more total energy.
Why does steam give you more burns that water?
steam is the gaseous transformation that takes place on heating water to its boiling point.Steam will give you more burn than the water boiling at 100 c as it has the latent heat of vapourisation in addition to the heat of fusion.Basically it has more heat content in the steam state than boiling water state.
