Does milk or water heat faster?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

its the same

in an everyday practical sense you would see no difference.
but I would say water would heat quicker than milk, why ?
Milk is mostly water so in a way milk is contaminated water, the contaminants would interfere with the heating process and probably raise the boiling point.
Salt raises the boiling point, milk probably even less but it still would.
Does anything added to water lower its boiling point ? no I dont think so.

But this is a trick question, milk burns easily so you have to be careful, to be careful you need to use lower heat and slowly raise the temperature so it would take longer to boil.
But if you just wanted to test out this question and didnt care if the milk ends up burnt then turn the stove on high.

Milk boils faster than water because it is heavier. Organic compounds have low boiling points because the kinetic energy of the molecules become more aggressive when heated. Therefore the boiling point of water is lower than water.

I believe if you put them on the stove or in the microwave they would heat at the same rate except one would boil faster than the other because one is less dense than the other and therefore would have a smaller boiling point.

I'm pretty sure it's water because it's less dense which gives the molecules more room to move around when being heated.

I think it's water cause water is more light weight
