It has been found that the burns caused by steam are much more severe than those caused by boiling water though both of them are at the same temperature of 100 °C. This is due to the fact that steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, than boiling water.
The changing of a solid directly into vapours on heating and of vapours into solid on cooling, is known as
