mira la pregunta
" Why does water react in a violent and dangerous way when overheated in a 
microwave oven? CA "
i mira el video (a partir del 13 experiment... a veure si ho trobes 
normal....�s bastant explicatiu, per molt que tiri la forquilla dins del 
got l'aigua normalment no salta d'aquesta forma)
http://howthingswork.virginia.edu/movies/shw28k.rm

El que diuen all�, (almenys el que jo he ent�s)  �s que si el recipent que 
cont� l'aigua no t� cap (o prous) impureses o rugositats (cosa que passa 
amb el vidre), aleshores no hi ha cap lloc a on es poguin comen�ar a formar 
les bombolles, i per tant l'aigua es va """sobreescalfant""" fins que entra 
amb contacte amb alguna cosa que li "permet" crear les bombolles, per� com 
que ja est� tan calenta en lloc de fer bombolletes en fa una de moooolt gran

" Why does water react in a violent and dangerous way when overheated in a 
microwave oven? CA "
Water doesn't always boil when it is heated above its normal boiling 
temperature (100 �C or 212 �F). The only thing that is certain is that 
above that temperature, a steam bubble that forms inside the body of the 
liquid will be able to withstand the crushing effects of atmospheric 
pressure. If no bubbles form, then boiling will simply remain a 
possibility, not a reality. Something has to trigger the formation of steam 
bubbles, a process known as "nucleation." If there is no nucleation of 
steam bubbles, there will be no boiling and therefore no effective limit to 
how hot the water can become.

Nucleation usually occurs at hot spots during stovetop cooking or at 
defects in the surfaces of cooking vessels. Glass containers have few or no 
such defects. When you cook water in a smooth glass container, using a 
microwave oven, it is quite possible that there will be no nucleation on 
the walls of the container and the water will superheat. This situation 
becomes even worse if the top surface of the water is "sealed" by a thin 
layer of oil or fat so that evaporation can't occur, either. Superheated 
water is extremely dangerous and people have been severely injured by such 
water. All it takes is some trigger to create the first bubble- a fork or 
spoon opening up the inner surface of the water or striking the bottom of 
the container-and an explosion follows. I recently filmed such explosions 
in my own microwave (low-quality movie (749KB), medium-quality movie 
(5.5MB)), or high- quality movie (16.2MB)). As you'll hear in my flustered 
remarks after "Experiment 13," I was a bit shaken up by the ferocity of the 
explosion I had triggered, despite every expectation that it would occur. 
After that surprise, you'll notice that I became much more concerned about 
yanking my hand out of the oven before the fork reached the water. I 
recommend against trying this dangerous experiment, but if you must, be 
extremely careful and don't superheat more than a few ounces of water. You 
can easily get burned or worse. For a reader's story about a burn he 
received from superheated water in a microwave, touch here.
