प्रश्न
State, with reason, which of the two, boiling water or steam both at 100°C will produce more severe burns.

उत्तर
Steam at 100°C will produce more severe burns because every gram of steam gives out 2260 J of heat energy while condensing. This much amount of heat is additional to the heat contained in one gram of boiling water.
