At the same temperature, steam burns are often more severe that water burns because of water's high HEAT OF VAPORIZATION.
Water possesses high heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization refers to the amount of heat that is needed to convert a unit mass of water to gas. After getting to the boiling point, a lot of heat is still needed to be absorbed by a boiling water before it can be converted to the gaseous form. Thus, the heat that is inherent in the steam is greater than that which is found in the boiling water, that is why the steam causes more damages.

Which of the following equations of CH4 + Cl2
mylen [45]

Balanced equation : C. CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ 4HCl

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.  

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product  

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

Reaction

CH₄ + Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ HCl

  • Give coefficient :

aCH₄ + bCl₂⇒  CCl₄+ cHCl

  • Make equation :

C, left=a, right=1⇒a=1

H, left=4a, right=c⇒4a=c⇒4.1=c⇒c=4

Cl, left=2b, right=4+c⇒2b=4+c⇒2b=4+4⇒2b=8⇒b=4

The equation becomes :

CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ 4HCl
