Can a 20 g of steam cause more of a serious burn 20 g of liquid water?

Yes.
Each gram of steam at 100 deg C contains the latent heat of vaporisation more than a gram of water at 100 deg C. This is equal to approx 2.26 kiloJoules per gram.

How much steam to make 1 ton of condensate?
1 ton of steam. how much steam is vague question. steam can be at different pressures and saturations. At 212°F, 14.7 psia, liquid water has a specific volume of 0.016716 ft3/lbm and steam has a specfic volume of 26.80 3/lbm, which is a volume ratio of ~1603 : 1 of steam:water.
Why does steam of 100 degree c cause more severe burns than boiling water at 100 degree c?
Because steam includes the latent heat of vapourisation. As a result, the energy in a kilogram of steam at 100 deg C is 2257 kJoules more than that in a kilogram of water at 100 deg C.
What is the gas state of water called?
Gas state of water is steam
A man buys 12 lbs of liquid which contains 20 percent of the liquid and the rest is water He then mixes it with 10 lts of another mixture with 30 percent of liquid What is the percent of water in the?
Initially Liquid=12lts, 20% liquid=> 2.4lts liquid and 9.6lts water Next 10lts mixture contains 30% liquid => 3lts liquid and 7lts water Finally both mixture mixed % of water= (16.6/22)*100 = 75.45%
Which has the greater mass a bottle of water or a bottle of steam?
If the bottles are identical, then the bottle of waterhasmore mass in it than the bottle of steam.
What is the steam point of the Celsius scale?
The steam point of the Celsius scale is 100 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, water boils and turns into steam.
Are air water and steam all liquids?
Air is primarily composed of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, so it is not a liquid. Water can exist in three states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam). Steam is the gaseous form of water, not a liquid.
Steam is to water as liquid is to?
steam is to liquid as smoke is to fire
Explain the differences in appearance and behaviour between liquid water and steam?
Steam and vapor are in the form of a gas. Liquid water is in the form of a liquid.
What is steam called when it is a liquid?
When steam is in its liquid form, it is simply called water.
Is steam in the liquid state?
Steam doesn't cool off liquids because it is the release of thermal energy from the water, and that is why, it is therefore hot. If the steam is coming off the liquid itself, it is heat being released by the liquid, but the liquid is not necessarily getting cooler. Think of water boiling on a stove. There may be plenty of steam coming off the water, but the water continues to boil. Subjecting a cool liquid to steam will certainly not cool the liquid.
Why does steam take up more space than liquid water?
Steam takes up more space than liquid water because the molecules of water in steam have higher energy and are further apart from each other compared to when they are in liquid form. This causes steam to have a larger volume and be less dense than liquid water.
The change from water to steam is?
a phase change from liquid to gas that occurs when water is heated to its boiling point. This process requires energy to break intermolecular bonds and cause the water molecules to transition from a liquid state to a gaseous state.
What form of water is liquid water?
solid = ice gas = steam liquid = water
What is the difference between water and steam?
Water is the liquid form of H2O, while steam is the gaseous form of water when it reaches its boiling point. Steam has higher energy and occupies more volume compared to water.
Is steam turning to water a chemical or physical change?
The formation of steam is a physical change. The chemical composition of steam (water vapor), is H2O, and the chemical composition of liquid water is H2O, so there is no chemical change going from liquid to gas (vapor/steam). Thus, it is a physical change.
What is formed as a liquid when steam?
Water
