How is a steam burn an example of latent heat?
A steam burn is an example of latent heat, because beside the heat released by the steam itself, a part of it condenses, turning into water, which in turn releases heat too.
What is a different name for a steam burn?
saunch=steam Scald=water
Is the steam from cooking in stainless considered toxic also?
Steam is not toxic! It can burn, but it is not toxic.
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
What does scalding mean?
To burn with hot liquid or steam, to treat with boiling water, to criticize harshly

Why do we get a more severe burn from steam at 100 Degree Celsius than from an equal amount Of water at the same temperature?
In order to turn from water to steam, the liquid must absorb a large amount of energy. Even though they may be the same temperature, this extra energy means the steam can cause a more severe burn.
Why are steam burns on the skin so severe?
It is not really more. Steam is the gas form of water, and thus hotter than the liquid form. 1000C (at 1au at sea level) is the boiling point of water. 400C water will not burn you, but 990C will. Steam at 1010C will burn you, but steam at 5000C would burn worse. So your answer is steam is hotter, but how much more of a burn you get also has to do with the amount of steam or water you come in contact with, and the temperature the steam or water is.
Can steam burn you?
Yes

Why is a steam burn worse then a water burn?
A steam burn is generally more severe than a water burn because steam carries more heat energy than water due to its high temperature. Steam can cause more damage to the skin upon contact and penetrate deeper into the tissue, resulting in a more serious burn.
Is the steam from cooking in stainless considered toxic also?
Steam is not toxic! It can burn, but it is not toxic.
How is electricity made from natural gas?
you burn gas under water and it makes steam. this steam turns a turbine which makes magnets rotate large coils of wire, causing electricity. Answer Gas turbines drive an alternator.

Where does a steam locomotive get its energy from?
Most steam locomotives are powered by coal, but some types burn wood or oil. The fuel is burned in a firebox to boil water. The steam is fed to pistons that power the drive wheels via large crank rods. A few experimental locomotives used the steam to run a turbine instead of pistons. Some locomotives burn peat or farm waste such as field cuttings. Switzerland even built a steam locomotive that got its power from an overhead electric line.
How do you repair leather from a steam burn?
you cannot actually
Why do fast-moving predators need a large amount of food?
Fast-moving predators need a large amount of food because they burn more energy when thy are hunting. They need more food, to supply the greater amount of energy they use.
