Which outcome results from exceeding water's Leidenfrost point?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the Leidenfrost point results in a vapor layer because rapid vaporization via film boiling insulates the water droplet. The Leidenfrost effect reduces thermal conduction rather than explosive nucleate boiling; therefore the vapor slows heat transfer, rather than promotes it.
