Which risk increases when rapid heating initiates boiling?

💡 Explanation

Rapid heating of a liquid causes superheating because homogenous nucleation requires overcoming an energy barrier; therefore, a superheat vapor explosion happens rather than immediate film boiling because bubble nucleation occurs under extreme conditions.
