This is so because when a 100 degree steam comes in contact with our skin it converts into water , energy required to convert in water is taken from our skin in form of latent heat which causes far more severe burns than putting our hand in 100 degrees water :) . dont try this experimentally .

What is water at 100 degrees celsius?

Water at 100 degrees Celsius is in its boiling point, transitioning from a liquid state to a gaseous state (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.


When the kettle boils how hot is the steam in celsius?

It will be the boiling point of water: 100oC


What temperature does water turns into steam is degrees Celsius?

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


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.


Does water boil above 100 Celsius?

No. When water reaches 100 Celsius it becomes steam and is no longer boiling water.


What has to be broken before water will turn into steam?

The boiling point. (99.97 degrees Celsius)


Why is steam at 100degree celsius more dangerous than water at 100degree celsius?

Steam at 100 degrees Celsius is more dangerous than water at 100 degrees Celsius because steam carries more heat energy and can cause deeper burns on contact with skin. Additionally, steam has a greater ability to penetrate clothing and protective gear, increasing the risk of burns.


When you heat water to 100 degrees Celsius it?

reaches its boiling point and starts to vaporize, turning into steam.


Does steam has highest latent heat than boiling water?

Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.


Why does the steam cause more injuries than boiling heat?

Steam can cause more injuries than boiling heat because steam carries more heat energy due to its latent heat of vaporization. When steam comes into contact with the skin, it releases this latent heat, causing rapid burns. In contrast, boiling heat transfers heat at a slower rate, giving more time for the skin to react and prevent severe burns.


What cause more burns steam or boiling water?

Steam can cause more severe burns than boiling water because steam has a higher heat energy content. When steam comes into contact with the skin, it releases this heat energy, causing more damage than boiling water at the same temperature.
