The milk is a thick liquid (more viscous than water). When it boils the bubbles formed don't break as quickly as they do in water. This means more bubble form which take up room in the pot and this causes the milk to boil over. Water rises, too, just not as much since the bubble break more quickly.

This fat seals the surface preventing water from evaporating. This water (steam) is collected under the film and forms a big bubble which enlarges as the milk continues to heat and pushes the surface to the top till it spills.

Milk boils at what temperature?
172 skim, 174 whole
Why doesn't water evaporate in room temperature?
water boils at 100o C.but room temperature may not rise to that much. only after boiling it may be converted to the gaseous state.
Are boils a bacteria or virus?
Boils are the bacteria.
What are boils caused from?
Boils are caused from clogged hair follicles.
How does milk rise up when you drink milk from a bottle with a straw?
When you suck from a straw you create a partial vaccuum which reduces the air pressue inside the straw. The air pressure outside the straw pushes down on the milk and forces it up through the straw.
Why does orange juice rise when it boils?
it boils because of the salt in it
Does milk boils faster than water?
Water boils faster
Milk boils at what temperature?

What is the boiling point for milk in Fahrenheit?
Since milk is nearly all water it boils at 212 Farren Height.
When the vapour of boiled milk is cooled does it become milk?
No, when milk boils, it is only the water which evaporates. The various substances dissolved and emulsified in the mixture stay behind. If you condense the vapour you will get water.
What proteins in milk make a cake rise?
It's not the milk alone that makes a cake rise. If the recipe includes milk it probably also contains either baking powder and/or baking soda. This combination of a base (Baking soda or Baking Powder) and an acid (milk) causes a slight chemical reaction which causes the cake to rise.
How does temperature affect solubility of a solute in solvent?
it is when a solute rise in temprature and it is hot/cold so it boils or freezes jk
What happens to milk if it boils?
I don't know exactly how long it takes, but when it does boil it will also scorch the bottom of your pan. Generally a recipe will say "scald milk", and this means heat it only to the point of boiling then remove it from heat.
What happens when milk boils?
Milk boils out because - Milk is a colloid that has many substances suspended in it such as protein, sugar and fat. When milk is heated slowly the proteins and fat get separated. Since protein and fat are light they rise to the surface of the milk and collect together in the form of cream. Milk has a high content of water in it and when the milk is heated some of the water gets converted into vapor. Since the surface of the milk is covered by cream the vapor gets trapped below the cream layer. As the milk is heated the trapped water vapor expands and pushes against the layer of cream. The cream layer is lifted up as the water vapor expands and finally the pressure of the water vapor bursts through the cream layer and when this happens milk boils over and spills out. Water does not boil and spill out because - When water boils, bubbles form at the surface of water and burst. For water bubbles to expand further the temperature must be high enough so that the vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure or else the water vapor bubbles shrink and vanish.
