This happens because the liquid particles of the water react to the heat. The particles start to move and bounce about rapidly, causing the water to condense and turn to vapour(which is steam). This is a great example of the chemical reaction of liquid->gas.

What is name of the Gas made when water Heated?

When water is heated, it can turn into steam, which is essentially water vapor.


How can water turn into steam or water vapour?

When water is heated at extremely high temperatures.


What causes steam to form when water is heated?

When water is heated, the molecules gain energy and move faster, causing them to break free from the liquid state and turn into steam, which is the gaseous form of water.


How is water a power supply?

Water is a power supply because it is used in power plants. The water is inside the boiler and the boiler is heated to make the water turn into steam. The steam is what makes the power.


Why steam at 100 degree c is more effective for heating purpose than water?

steam is more effective because the particles of steam have absorbed extra energy in the form of latent heat of vaporization apparent temp is 100c and actual temp is more than 100c whereas the actual temp of water is 100c


Is water irreversible?

Nope. If you turn the heat off so the temperature drops below 100C, you will have non-boiling water. When the steam's temperature drops below the vaporization temperature it will return to liquid state.


What does water become as its is heated in an open pan?

As water is heated in an open pan, it will eventually evaporate and turn into steam as it reaches its boiling point. If the heating continues, the steam will continue to rise and eventually disperse into the surrounding air.


At which temperature does a water turn in to a gas?

100C or 212F. It is the boiling point of water, where water turns from a liquid into a gas.


Why is your water tank steaming?

you need anti freeze. this also stops the water from boiling over (will not allow water to turn to steam when heated or freeze in sub zero temperatures).


Can distilled water can be used in boilers of nuclear power plant to obtain steam?

Yes Distilled water can be used in nuclear power plants to obtain steam. This steam after spinning the turbines (to turn electric generators for electricity generation) is condensed in a closed circuit and returned back as water to be heated up again and turned to steam.


Can hot rocks make steam?

Yes, hot rocks can generate steam if they are in contact with water. When water seeps into cracks or pores in the rocks and is heated by the rock's temperature, it can turn into steam. This process is often utilized in geothermal energy production, where hot rocks heat underground water, creating steam that can drive turbines to generate electricity.


When does water turn to a gas?

When water is heated up, it's particles gain energy. When they gain enough energy (when the water is hot enough), they break free of one another and escape as steam(a gas).
