How much heat is absorbed by a persons hand if 100 grams of liquid water at 100°C is poured on his hand?  (Assume the final temperature of the water will be normal body temperature of 37°C) How much heat is absorbed by a persons hand if 100 grams of steam at 100°C is first converted to liquid water at 100°C and then cooled to normal body temperature? Which causes the more severe burn hot water or steam?  Why?
