Does the length of spaghetti increase after boiling?

Yes about 1 inch. That's because the spaghetti originally is contracted and hard. And heating normally expands a substance, so when the spaghetti is boiled, the heat supplied causes it to expand a little.

the boiling points decrease on hydrocarbons as the length of the chain and the weight increases. the melting points increase with length and weight increase. Hope this helps.


Why length of spaghetti increase after boiling?

Spaghetti is originally hard and contracted. When heat is supplied to any object, most of them expand. so, when heat is supplied to spaghetti, it expands. However, it is important to note that expansion due to increase in temperature (Thermal expansion) is a very small. So, spaghetti expands only by about an inch.
