1 kg of centigrade steam is supplied to the water tank through a pipe. After steam condensation, the water temperature in the tank increased by 35C. If instead of steam, 1 kg of centigrade water is supplied, then the water temperature in the tank will increase only by 5C. Explain why the degree of heating of the water is different.

During steam condensation, more heat energy is released, because during condensation, it turns into 100-degree water and releases the amount of energy that was spent on vaporization.

Therefore, water simply heated to 100 degrees has less thermal energy than condensed steam.

A 100-degree steam has more energy by the amount of vaporization compared to water heated to 100 degrees.
