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.

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
How is coal turned into energy in power plants?
Coal is burned to heat water (in a very large boiler). The water is heated to steam. The steam is then used to turn a steam turbine. The turbine turns a generator, producing electricity!
Can butter turn into a gas?
Yes, butter can turn into a gas, because when it is heated, the steam inside reacts with the butter, turning it into a gas
What can coal turn into?
coal can turn into steam water. that's the only thing that coal can turn into.
What cause more burns steam or boiling water?
Steam. Liquids turn to solids when they reach a temperature, so steam has to be hotter than boiling water.
How can water turn into steam or water vapour?
When water is heated at extremely high temperatures.
Does snow turn into gas?
If heated sufficiently it will turn into water vapour (steam) which is the gaseous state of water. It will also melt and evaporate.

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.
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.

When water molecules heat up and turn to steam the molecules begin to move?
When water molecules are heated and turned into steam they move faster causing more collisions. They also move farther apart.
How steam turn in to water?
Allow the steam to cool down and it will turn back to water.
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).
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.
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.
How much water is lost from 600ml when boiling at 100C for 20 seconds in a 2.5kW kettle?
No one can say, because that's not enough information. The more heat energy you provide, the faster the water will boil.If you provide exactly enough heat to keep the water at 100C, it won't boil at all!Every 540 calories of heat energy turns 1 gram of water to steam.600ml of water = 600 grams of water. So if you can provide 324,000 calories in 20 seconds - but I bet you can't! - you will turn all the water to steam.
