why does water boil over?

293 viewsChemistryOther

Why is it that if I leave temp high, water alone boils without spilling out of the pot, but if I add something to it (like pasta, chai mix, etc) and leave it on high, it eventually boils over and spills everywhere?

dude it’s like this wild party in the pot. when you just heat water it bubbles chill. but toss in pasta or chai and it’s like a dance floor full of people. they bump into each other creating way more bubbles and they gotta go somewhere so they spill over. less crowded pot means less chaos for water.
