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 feature indicates that Mars resides in the inner region of the solar system?
amm1812

Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation: There are 2 regions of the solar system.

1) Inner region: There are 4 planets which lie in this region: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The inner region planets are rocky in nature. The orbit time of these planets around the sun is short. They have 0, 1 or 2 satellites in total. There is no ring system in these planets.

2) Outer region: There are 4 planets which lie in this region: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The outer region planets are gaseous in nature. The orbit time of these planets around the sun is long. They have usually more number of satellites around them. Ring system in these planets is very common.

Hence, Mars resides in the inner region of the solar system because it has a rocky surface that one could firmly stand on.

Why do larger gases such as Neon produce more color bands (line spectra) than smaller gases like Hydrogen?
LekaFEV [45]
Larger gases produces more spectral lines than the smaller gases because they have more orbitals in their atoms.
Hydrogen has only one orbital in which an electron orbits. At the excited state, that is, when the electron gains energy, the number of energy level it can transcend is very few. For larger elements, they have more orbitals and when excited, they can move from the ground state to other energy levels at which they produce various unique spectral lines.

Which pair consists of a molecular formula and its corresponding empirical formula?
MissTica
<span>3) P4O10 and P2O5
The mass of the P4O10 divided by the mass of the P2O5=2, and if you multiply the number of atoms in the P2O5 by 2, you get the P4O10, thus P2O5 is its empirical formula.</span>
