What is a chemical way to remove salt from water?
HI To remove salt from water, boil the water and the steam from the boiling water will be free of salt. Salt is heavier than air so it cant follow the steam.

Why is a burn caused by a steam more severe than a burn caused by a boiling water if they have the same temperature?
Steam carries more energy than boiling water. When water is at its boiling point, it requires additional energy to boost it into a gaseous state. When the steam comes in contact with a cooler object and condense back to a liquid, it releases that energy as heat. If that object is human skin, that heat will cause a burn. - - - - - It would be very rare to have steam with the same temperature as boiling liquid water. The only way to keep water liquid past 100 degrees C is to put it under pressure. By contrast, once you have formed steam you can raise it to just about any temperature you want - there are many industrial processes that require steam at 600 degrees F. Hence, at least part of the reason burns from steam are more severe than burns from boiling water, is the steam is hotter.
