The heat content of steam is much greater than of liquid water at the same temperature. That makes that the speed of heat penetration INTO the (deeper parts of the) skin is higher and thus it's effects are more severe. Condensation on skin adds a lot of (condensation) heat to that.

What is the steam point of the Celsius scale?

at 100 degrees liquid water will go to steam and steam will go to liquid water


Water becomes steam at what degrees?

Water becomes steam at 100 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure.


What temperature does water turns into steam is degrees Celsius?

It can be anywhere in between 60C and 100C (boiling point).


What is the temperature range of liquid water in Celsius?

Liquid water has a temperature range of 0 to 100 degrees Celsius. At 0 degrees Celsius, water freezes into ice, and at 100 degrees Celsius, water boils into steam.


What happens to steam at 105 degrees Celsius?

At 105 degrees Celsius, steam will remain in the gaseous phase as it is above the boiling point of water (100 degrees Celsius). Steam will continue to condense into liquid water only once it cools down below the boiling point.


What state would water be at 45 degrees celsius?

At 45 degrees Celsius, water would be in its liquid state. Water turns into a gas (steam) at 100 degrees Celsius and freezes into a solid (ice) at 0 degrees Celsius.


What is the physical state of water at 257degree celsius?

At what temperature does water steam?

Water steams at 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius.


What does water change to above 100 degrees Celsius?

It still remains as water, but it has a change of state from liquid ti gas. When it is in the gaseous form , it is referred to as 'water vapour'.


How many calories are needed to convert 12.5 grams of ice at 0 degrees Celsius to steam at 100 degrees Celsius?

To convert 12.5 grams of ice at 0 degrees Celsius to steam at 100 degrees Celsius, you would need to provide heat energy for three main processes: heating the ice from 0 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius, melting the ice into water at 0 degrees Celsius, and then heating the water from 0 degrees Celsius to steam at 100 degrees Celsius. The total calorie requirement would be determined by the specific heat capacities and heat of fusion and vaporization of water.


What happens if you heat the steam above 100 degrees celsius?

If you heat steam above 100 degrees Celsius, it will continue to increase in temperature without changing to water. This is because steam is already in a gaseous state at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius.


At what temperature does pure water turn to steam?

Steam is created when water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, 373 degrees Kelvin or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. This is at the normal, standard temperature and atmosphere pressure.
