Reading quiz One gram of steam at 100°C that comes in contact with your skin will
cause a more serious burn than one gram of water at 100°C because
- the steam first emits the latent heat of vaporization as it condenses to water.
- the steam requires the latent heat of fusion to be delivered by your skin.
- the steam chemically reacts with your skin cells but the water does not.
- the steam has a higher specific heat than water and therefore delivers more energy.

Answer
A. the steam first emits the latent heat of vaporization as it condenses to water.
A gram of steam will emit 539 cal when it condenses to water at
100°C, and another 63 cal as it cools down to 37°C. A gram of water at 100°C will only
deliver the 63 cal as it cools down. So the steam delivers almost ten times more energy than does
the water, causing a much more serious burn.
