Steam of indoor objects

Steam of indoor use electrical objects such as a kettle, for example, boil water above one hundred degrees celcius. This steam is water vapour collecting in the air. Once the water vapour has condenced (cooled), maybe by collecting on a cold window or moving into cooler air, it begins to cool until it is under boiling point and slowly drips into water/dampness.

Steam of Clouds

Clouds are formed by the evaporation (turning into steam) of sea water. The water vapour collects into white bulges in the sky. When the clouds have been pushed by the wind till they cooled they would begin to condense and form into rain.

How many pounds of water to make 37000 pounds of steam?

To make 37000 pounds of steam, you would need 37000 pounds of water. This is because steam is simply water in the gas phase, so the weight of the steam would be equal to the weight of the water used to generate it.


What happens if you continue to heat water after it becomes steam?

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.


Is boiling water to make steam a physical change?

Yes, boiling water to make steam is a physical change. This is because the water undergoes a change in state from liquid to gas without any change in its chemical composition.


What supplies energy to water to make steam?

There are several ways to heat water until it steams. Electric heating elements will do the trick, as will burning something like coal, oil, wood etc. Even intense sunlight can boil water.


What do you burn to make steam and generate electricity?

To make steam and generate electricity, you usually burn fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil in a power plant. The heat produced from burning these fuels is used to turn water into steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.
