Cake mixes and other packaged foods that require cooking often contain special directions for use at high elevations. Typically these directions indicate that the food should be cooked longer above 5000 ft. Explain why it takes longer to cook something at higher elevations.
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The following phenomenon has to be explained – “Cooking at higher elevation takes longer time”.
Concept introduction:
At higher altitude the atmospheric pressure is lower than the normal one.
Boiling point of any substance is the measure of temperature at which the vapor pressure of the substance becomes equal to atmospheric pressure.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
Understand the relation between boiling point and atmospheric pressure.
Boiling point of a substance is a temperature at which the vapor pressure of the substance becomes equal to atmospheric pressure.
The atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes like mountains and hill stations is quite low...
