Why is the latent heat of vapourization of steam is more than that of boiling water?
Because steam is hotter than boiling water.
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.
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.
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 happens to the temperature of boiling water if you turn up the heat on the stove?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius. The water will evaporate at boiling point. By the way what do you mean "what happens to the temperature of boiling water" if you think about it, it does not make sense.
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.
What is hotter a glacier or boiling water?
Boiling water.
Does water get hotter after boiling?
No! Technically, it can turn to steam, but the water itself can not become hotter than its boiling point. The above is true. But ... Remember that the boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the saturated vapour pressure is equal to the applied pressure. Increase the pressure and the boiling point will rise. If the questioner meant the boiling point at normal atomospheric presure then you could make it boil at a higher temperature by heating it in a pressure vessel with a release valve, such as in an old-fashioned presure cooker.
Why is there steam above the hot water?
Steam is formed when water is heated to its boiling point and changes from a liquid to a gas. The steam rises above the hot water because it is less dense than air and is buoyant, creating a visible cloud of water vapor.
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.
Why does steam cause more severe skin burns than liquid water at its boiling point?
Hot water has a maximum temperature of 100 degrees centigrade. If it goes beyond that it is now steam. Steam burns are more dangerous because they are much hotter than water.
Why is steam made when boiling water?
Steam is the gaseous form of water above its boiling point. When you see 'steam', that is not really steam, it's warm-water droplets in the air.
