What else can I help you with?
Does salt dissolve in boiling water or steam?
Definitely. Even better than in cooler water.
Why is the latent heat of vapourization of steam is more than that of boiling water?
Because steam is hotter than boiling water.
Does steam has highest latent heat than boiling water?
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.
What cause more burns steam or boiling water?
Steam can cause more severe burns than boiling water because steam has a higher heat energy content. When steam comes into contact with the skin, it releases this heat energy, causing more damage than boiling water at the same temperature.
Is steam hotter than boiling water?
Technically speaking steam has a higher temperature, but boiling water often has more heat energy per volume. Steam starts at 100degrees C, which is the absolute maximum temperature of boiling water, but steam can be much much hotter, all the way up to thousands of degrees. However, steam as a gas is much less dense than water, and so steam at 100C will injure a person much less than water at 100C.
Is steam superheated water?
No, steam is not superheated water. Steam is the gaseous form of water that is created when water is heated to its boiling point and vaporizes. Superheated water is water that has been heated beyond its boiling point and exists in a state where it is hotter than its boiling point.
What is the meaning of super heat?
Superheated steam is steam at a temperature higher than water's boiling point
Which produce severe burns boiling water or steam?
Steam has more heat capacity than boiling water by its condensing to liquid and after that it'll conduct heat better as being liquified.Added:Steam causes more severe burns as compared to boiling water because steam contains more heat (i.e 40.6 kJ/mol condensation heat) then boiling water, both at the same temperature 100 oC.From that condensation is momentanous when in contact with skin, after being liquefied it behaves the same as boiling water: still 100 oC and cooling down is slower than condensation.
Does steam have more energy per unit mass than boiling water?
Yes
Why burn caused due to steam is more severe than the boiling water at same temperature?
steam causes severe burns because of change of state i.e. liquid to gas with effects our skin. where as boiling water is only liquid which is hot but it does not effect the skin more than water.Thus higher the temperature of steam as compared to water. cause more severe burns than boiling water
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.
Can steam ever be hotter then 100 celsius?
No, steam cannot be hotter than 100 degrees Celsius, which is the boiling point of water. At this temperature, water changes from its liquid state to steam.
