Why are burns so painful?
Steam burns are painful because they damage the skin just like any other burn. Steam burns hurt because the water in steam keeps the heat trapped in the skin.
What actually is produced when hydrogen burns in air?
Steam
Why burn caused due to steam is more severe than the boiling water at same temperature?
steam causes severe burns because of change of state i.e. liquid to gas with effects our skin. where as boiling water is only liquid which is hot but it does not effect the skin more than water.Thus higher the temperature of steam as compared to water. cause more severe burns than boiling water
Why water as ice has a cooling effect whereas water as a steam cause severe burns?
Ice is frozen.....Ice freezes the skin cells making the pain sensors in our skin non reactive, while steam has a burning effect, cause it is a gas. Before water becomes steam it has to reach a point higher than boiling so there fore making it hot and full of energy.

Why are steam burns on the skin so severe?
It is not really more. Steam is the gas form of water, and thus hotter than the liquid form. 1000C (at 1au at sea level) is the boiling point of water. 400C water will not burn you, but 990C will. Steam at 1010C will burn you, but steam at 5000C would burn worse. So your answer is steam is hotter, but how much more of a burn you get also has to do with the amount of steam or water you come in contact with, and the temperature the steam or water is.
Why is steam at 100degree celsius more dangerous than water at 100degree celsius?
Steam at 100 degrees Celsius is more dangerous than water at 100 degrees Celsius because steam carries more heat energy and can cause deeper burns on contact with skin. Additionally, steam has a greater ability to penetrate clothing and protective gear, increasing the risk of burns.

Why does steam cause more severe skin burns than liquid water at its boiling point?
Hot water has a maximum temperature of 100 degrees centigrade. If it goes beyond that it is now steam. Steam burns are more dangerous because they are much hotter than water.
Why does steam cause burns?
Because it's hotter than the skin can stand.
