Question:

The heats of vaporization for water and carbon disulfide are 40.7 kJ/mol and 26.8 kJ/mol, respectively. A vapor (steam) burn occurs when the concentrated vapor of a substance condenses on your skin. Which of these substances, water or carbon disulfide, will result in the most severe burn if identical quantities of each vapor at a temperature just above their boiling point came in contact with your skin?
