the correct statements. 2. The boiling hot water causes more severe burns than the steam at 100°C. 3. The process by which a gas changes to a liquid state at some fixed temperature, with the absorption of heat energy is called vaporisation 4. It becomes cold during snowfall. 5. Water at 0°C cools a soft drink bottles better than ice at 0°C. B. Statements given below are incorrect. Write 1. The specific latent heat of ice is 363 Jg!
The latent heat of vapourisation being very high (540 cal/g), every gram of steam has 540 calories more heat energy than that of boiling water that is released by steam causing more pain than boiling water.
