You might take a known quantity of water, add heat and stir until all of it has reached
a temperature of 100 C (212 F), then start measuring how much more heat it takes to
turn all of the water to steam.
That's not exactly a 'derivation'. It's more like an empirical measurement, and we're thinking
that's how the figure was originally determined.
A steam burn is an example of latent heat, because beside the heat released by the steam itself, a part of it condenses, turning into water, which in turn releases heat too.
The energy released when steam condenses to water is called the latent heat of vaporization. This energy is released in the form of heat as the steam loses its thermal energy and transitions back into liquid water.
The total heat of steam, also known as enthalpy of steam, is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water to its boiling point and then convert it into steam without changing its temperature. It is the sum of sensible heat and latent heat of vaporization.
To determine the heat lost, we need to calculate the heat required to cool the steam from 400 K to 273 K (its condensation point), then the heat required to change it from steam to liquid water, and finally the heat required to freeze the water into ice at 273 K. These steps involve the specific heat capacities of water and steam, latent heat of vaporization, and latent heat of fusion.
The heat required to convert water to steam is known as the latent heat of vaporization. It is around 2260 kJ/kg at standard atmospheric pressure. This energy is needed to break the intermolecular bonds in liquid water and convert it into vapor.
Latent heat of evaporation of water to steam is 2270 KJ/Kg
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.

Because steam is hotter than boiling water.
Steam at 373K contains more heat energy than water at 373K because it has undergone a phase change from liquid to gas, requiring additional energy (latent heat of vaporization). This extra energy contributes to the higher heat content of steam compared to water at the same temperature.

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.
steam is created by the vapourisation of water (gaseous state of water is the steam). Steam is the result of a liquid changing to a gas. Liquid+heat=latent point of vaporization+additonal heat=steam. I could give you the delta change formula but lets use the kiss method
Efficiency formula for a steam turbine is typically derived by dividing the electrical power output by the heat energy input. The heat rate of the steam turbine represents the amount of heat energy required per unit of electrical power generated, and by rearranging the equation, we can derive the efficiency formula as the reciprocal of the heat rate.
The symbol for latent heat is ( L ).
