Water at standard atmospheric pressure cannot exist in the liquid state at temperatures greater than 212 F (100 C). If you continue to apply heat to a pot of boiling water, that energy is being used to make the phase transition from liquid to steam. Assuming you were able to contain the steam and water in the same container without increasing pressure (as pressure increases, so does the boiling/saturation temperature), the temperature of both the water and steam would remain 212 F until all the liquid water had evaporated. This mixture of liquid state and gas state water is called a saturated mixture, and can only exist at the boiling/saturation temperature for a given pressure.
Once this saturated mixture has completely become a vapor, the temperature of the steam will begin to increase as you continue to apply heat to it.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if you cool steam?
When steam is cooled, it condenses back into liquid water. This is the opposite process of water evaporating into steam when heated. Cooling steam releases the latent heat energy it acquired during evaporation.
Water becomes steam at what degrees?
Water becomes steam at 100 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure.
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.
What happens to steam after it has generated electricity?
After steam has been used to generate electricity in a power plant, it is condensed back into water. This condensed water is then returned to the boiler to be heated again and turned back into steam, creating a continuous cycle of generating electricity.
When steam becomes water what are the particles of matter?
When steam (or "water vapor") becomes water, the particles are condensating or becoming condensation. This is because the particles are cooling down, thereore not moving fast enough to remain a gas; so it becomes a liquid.
What happens to steam before it becomes water vapour?
Steam is water vapour - just a very hot form of it.
What happens to water molecules that move with higher energy?
The faster a molecule moves, that hotter it becomes. If water becomes hot enough, it evaporates into steam.
What happens if you cool steam?
When steam is cooled, it condenses back into liquid water. This is the opposite process of water evaporating into steam when heated. Cooling steam releases the latent heat energy it acquired during evaporation.
When steam becomes cold it is?
Water
Water becomes steam at what degrees?
Water becomes steam at 100 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure.
What does liquid water become when it absorbs enough heat?
Liquid water becomes water vapor, which is the gaseous state of water, when it absorbs enough heat and evaporates.
What is the solute and solvent in steam?
Steam is not a solution; steam is water vapor.
When steam becomes cold it turns into?
As steam cools it reverts back to fluid-- water.
What happens to the water vapor in the air when the air cools?
It condenses and it becomes liquid
Is bottled water liquid?
Yes the water is In fact liquid. But the bottle is not. If you freeze the water it becomes a solid. If you steam the water it becomes a gas.
What happens when water change into steam?
evaporation
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.
