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.

Identify the reactants and the products in this chemical equation.<br><br> 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Fe₂O₃ and C are reactants

Fe and CO₂ are products

Explanation:

Reactants:

Chemical species that are present on left side of chemical reaction equation are called reactants.

Product:

Chemical species that are present on right side of chemical reaction equation are called product.

Chemical equation:

2Fe₂O₃ + 3C  →  4Fe + 3CO₂

In this reaction 2 mole of iron oxide is react with three moles of carbon and produced four moles of iron and three moles of carbon dioxide. There are equal numbers of atoms of all elements present on both side of chemical reaction so this reaction follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Identifying Characteristics of Atoms
Anon25 [30]

Explanation:

The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number.

Mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom.

  Mass number  = number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number  = number of protons

Atomic number gives the symbol of the element

Number        Number      Atomic      Mass          Symbol

 Protons       neutrons     Number    Number

     A                    7                 B              15                C

     D                   E                 26             56               F

A, number of protons  = B

 Mass number  = protons + neutrons

          15  = protons + 7

          Protons  = 15 - 7  = 8

Atomic number 8 is for oxygen = C

Atomic number  = number of protons  = D = 26

Number of neutrons ;

          E =    Neutrons  = mass number - protons  = 56  - 26  = 30

Atomic number 26 is for Iron = F
