If water boils at 100°C, and boiling is the process of turning liquid into gas, why are bathrooms full of steam when showering at only 40°C?
In: Chemistry
It’s actually not boiling, it’s evaporation. Hot water from the shower increases the temperature and humidity, allowing water to evaporate more easily and form steam (which is just tiny droplets of water) even though it’s not at boiling temp.
