If you place heated chalk in water, does it explode?

I heard this is true; is it a rumor?

    Why bother asking? Chalk and water are easy to obtain, so I don't see why you couldn't test it yourself. Heat up some chalk and put in water. If you think it will explode, just put on some safety goggles first.

    Alternately: Try taking chalk and water on a plane. If TSA confiscates it, yes.

    Happy chalk-exploding
