Water that is boiling can only achieve 100 degrees Celsius (at sea level).

Once turned into steam it can achieve at lot higher temperature. (Super heated 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.


Does Boiling Water increase heat energy?

Boiling water involves converting liquid water to steam by adding heat energy. The heat energy increases the temperature of the water until it reaches its boiling point, at which point the water vaporizes into steam.


Is it possible to boil water by passing steam at atmospheric pressure?

No, passing steam at atmospheric pressure will not cause water to boil. Boiling occurs when the liquid reaches its boiling point temperature and vapor pressure overcomes the atmospheric pressure. Generally, steam at atmospheric pressure will only cause the water to heat up and potentially evaporate faster.


Relationship of temperature of boiling water and temperature of steam?

In the case where heat is being added to generate steam from a container of water, as long as there is water still in the container, the temperature remains constant. It takes energy for water to change state into steam and all of the heat added goes to performing this task so the temperature stays the same, 212 degF (100 degC) at atmospheric pressure. While the water is boiling, the steam is "saturated," meaning any loss of heat would cause some of the steam to condense back into water. Once all of the water has been boiled and changed state, any additional heat supplied will cause the temperature to increase and the steam is "superheated," that is above its saturation temperature.


How is steam produced?

Steam is produced by boiling water to its vapor phase. This is typically done in a boiler by applying heat to the water, resulting in the water reaching its boiling point and turning into steam. The generated steam can then be used in various applications such as power generation, heating, or industrial processes.

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.

Why is the latent heat of vapourization of steam is more than that of boiling water?

Because steam is hotter than boiling water.


What is the steam ingein?

A steam engine is a heat engine. A steam engine uses boiling water to produce mechanical work. It uses the steam from the boiling water as its working fluid.


How steam boilers work?

Steam boilers work by boiling water to generate steam. The steam then is used to heat the engine.

How many steam density?

The steam density refers to the density of steam at a given specific heat and boiling point.


Is it possible to boil water by passing steam at atmospheric pressure?

No, passing steam at atmospheric pressure will not cause water to boil. Boiling occurs when the liquid reaches its boiling point temperature and vapor pressure overcomes the atmospheric pressure. Generally, steam at atmospheric pressure will only cause the water to heat up and potentially evaporate faster.


What is total heat of steam?

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.


What is the meaning of super heat?

Superheated steam is steam at a temperature higher than water's boiling point


What happens to the temperature of boiling water if you turn up the heat on the stove?

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius. The water will evaporate at boiling point. By the way what do you mean "what happens to the temperature of boiling water" if you think about it, it does not make sense.


How do you turn liquid into gas?

heat it to a boiling point and it will turn to steam and evaporate.
