What produces more severe burns, boiling water or steam?

Ans. Steam produces more severe burns. Steam has the highest specific latent heat of vaporisation whose value is 2260 kJ/kg. Thus, 1 kg of steam at 100°C contains 2260 kJ of more heat energy than 1 kg of water at 100°C. It is this enormous amount of heat energy in steam which causes more severe burns.
