As the steam comes in contact with the skin, it becomes water, and releases more energy (about 2188 joules per gram) on contact than water at the same temperature.

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


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.


Can steam ever be hotter then 100 celsius?

No, steam cannot be hotter than 100 degrees Celsius, which is the boiling point of water. At this temperature, water changes from its liquid state to steam.


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

Water becomes a gas at 100 degrees celsius at sea level. Under normal conditions, it can not get any hotter. When the pressure is increased, however, the temperature at which water boils increases. So gaseous water (steam) at 257 degrees celsius, under pressure, would be considered "superheated steam."


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.


What is temperature of steam from a kettle in degree centigrade?

The temperature of steam from a kettle is typically around 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level, which is the boiling point of water.


What is the specific heat capacity of steam 100 degrees Celsius?

The specific heat capacity of steam at 100 degrees Celsius is approximately 2.08 J/g°C. This means it takes 2.08 joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of steam by 1 degree Celsius at that temperature.


What temperature will steam condense into a liquid?

That depends on what type of liquid created the steam. Obviously, different liquids have different evaporation, boiling, and melting points.


What is the unit of dry saturated steam?

The unit of dry saturated steam is typically measured in temperature units such as degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, as it represents the state of steam when it is at its saturation point and in equilibrium with liquid water at the same temperature.


What is the Physical state of water at 15 degree Celsius?

water is a liquid aT 15oC Water is a solid (Ice) below 0oC Water is a vapour (steam) above 100oC.


What is the state of water for 110 degrees Celsius?

At 110 degrees Celsius, water is in its liquid state. At this temperature, water is hot enough to be in liquid form but has not yet reached boiling point to become steam.


What is the temperature in celsius in which water turns into steam?

At about 100o Celsius.
