Question

In a pressure cooker, the food is cooked faster, because the boiling point of water in the cooker ________.

• A. is above ${100}^{\circ }C$
• B. is below ${100}^{\circ }C$
• C. is equal to ${100}^{\circ }C$
• D. depends upon the amount of the volume present inside the cooker.

Answer 1

The correct option is A is above ${100}^{\circ }C$

In a pressure cooker, the food is cooked faster, because the boiling point of water in the cooker is above $100℃$

It's because the fact: pressure $\alpha$ boiling point

Inside pressure cooker, pressure is more than atmospheric pressure so boiling point is above $100℃$
