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.
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.
It depends really how close that shot explodes to you ear. The more far away the better. Avoid soundpressure levels of more than 120 dB. That hurts.
yes
It has more to do with the air conditions than the planes. All planes give off exhaust from their engines. This contains carbon dioxide and monoxide, some nitrogen oxides and lots of water. The water is emitted as a gas (steam) that under the right cold and humidity conditions condenses into tiny water droplets and these very quickly freeze into very fine ice. These conditions are found more commonly in the upper atmosphere, so high flying planes tend to leave contrails (condensation trails) Low flying planes emit the same exhaust, but in the warmer air at lower altitudes the water content does not turn to water and ice droplets - it remains as an invisible gas.

Sort of, as steam water spreads around more so you could say that water takes up more space as steam.
no because its not the water your using its the steam from the water
Steam has a greater volume than water because the water molecules in steam have more energy and move more quickly, causing them to spread out more. As steam is in the gaseous phase, the molecules are further apart compared to the liquid phase of water, which results in a greater volume.
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
steam scalds are more serious than boiling water scalds because steam when condenses onto the more cooler skin, it loses latent heat of vaporization (to become water at 100 degrees Celsius) also it loses thermal capacity to become equal to the temperature of the skin (37 degrees Celsius). boiling water loses only thermal capacity as it cools down to 37 degrees Celsius from 100 degree Celsius.
Steam is more dangerous because the temperature is higher.
A steam burn is generally more severe than a water burn because steam carries more heat energy than water due to its high temperature. Steam can cause more damage to the skin upon contact and penetrate deeper into the tissue, resulting in a more serious burn.
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.
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.
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.
Steam. Not to be confused with vapor, which is a suspension of liquid water molecules in another gas.
