Is steam chemical energy?
Steam is typically considered a form of thermal energy, as it is a vaporized form of water with high heat energy. However, if steam is used to power a turbine or generator to produce electricity, it can be considered a form of mechanical energy that is derived from the chemical energy stored in the fuel that heated the water to produce the steam.
What temperature does hot water changes to a new form?
Hot water changes to a new form, steam, when it reaches its boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, water vaporizes and transforms into steam, which is the gaseous phase of water.
What is the difference between water and steam?
Water is the liquid form of H2O, while steam is the gaseous form of water when it reaches its boiling point. Steam has higher energy and occupies more volume compared to water.
How can steam be changed back into water?
Steam can be changed back into water through a process called condensation. By cooling down the steam, it loses energy and transforms back into liquid water. This can be observed, for example, when steam from a hot shower hits a cold mirror and becomes droplets of water.
What is hydrothermal energy?
OBAMA 08 OBAMA 08 OBAMA 08 -McLovin Ummm....McLovin didn't answer anything... *ahem* Anyway, hydrothermal energy is, to the extent of my knowlage, simply using hot water or steam that naturally occurs and somehow making it into usable energy. -Yuki
In which type of energy is the sun not the source?
The sun is not the source of geothermal energy. Geothermal energy is generated by heat stored beneath the Earth's surface in the form of hot water, steam, and rock.

Does steam gain or lose energy when it condenses to form water?
When steam condenses to form water, it releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. This energy is needed to break the intermolecular forces that hold the water molecules together as steam.
What form of energy is used to create steam?
Heat energy
Is steam energy?
Steam energy is a form of thermal energy that is harnessed by using steam to power turbines that generate electricity. It is commonly used in power plants that rely on steam as a source of energy to produce electricity.
What is geothermal energy derived from?
Geothermal energy comes from heat stored within the earth. This can involve pumping water deep into drilled holes to produce hot water or perhaps steam. This heat can be converted to other useful forms of energy to do work.
What energy does a geyser produce?
A geyser produces thermal energy in the form of hot water and steam. This energy comes from the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface, usually generated by the magma chambers which are close to the surface.
What form of energy from the burning of refuse changes water into steam?
Heat energy.
Does water gain or lose energy as it evaporates to form steam?
Water gains energy as it evaporates to form steam. The energy is used to break the bonds between water molecules and convert them from liquid to gas.
What happens to the thermal energy the particles in steam have when it comes into contact with your skin?
When steam comes into contact with your skin, the thermal energy in the steam is transferred to your skin. This transfer of thermal energy increases the temperature of your skin, which can result in burns if the steam is too hot.
What happens to steam before it becomes water vapour?
Steam is water vapour - just a very hot form of it.
Does steam have more energy than water?
No. Assuming you have the same mass of each steam has more energy than hot water, because water needs to gain energy in order to evaporate.
