100°C boiling water and 100°C steam: Which will burn your hands more?

Question: 100°C boiling water and 100°C steam: Which will burn your hands more?

Answer: If 1 g of steam at 100°C releases 537 calories of heat, 1 g of water at 100°C is formed. So, steam at 100°C contains more heat than boiling water at 100°C. So if you put your hands in the steam, your hands will burn more.
