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.

Explanation:</h3>
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂
[RxN - Balanced] 3Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂
[Given] 1.22 g Mg
[Solve] grams Mg₃N₂
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[RxN] 3 mol Mg → Mg₃N₂
[PT] Molar Mass of Mg - 24.31 g/mol
[PT] Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol
Molar Mass of Mg₃N₂ - 3(24.31) + 2(14.01) = 100.95 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Stoich</u>
- [DA] Set up:
- [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>
1.68873 g Mg₃N₂ ≈ 1.69 g Mg₃N₂
The correct answer is A, B and C
You did not include the statements but since magnesium chloride is ionic substance that we know that magnesium and chlorine formed an ionic bond. Therefore your statement most likely will talk about how one magnesium atom gave up 2 electrons while two chlorine atoms took 1 electron. The reaction looks like Mg+2Cl⇒MgCl₂.
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
