Define boiling point of a liquid increases as the pressure

Reference no: EM13518023

The boiling point of a liquid increases as the pressure above the liquid increases. In contrast to boiling food in an open pot, pressure cookers trap the steam, which raises the internal pressure, which raises the boiling point of water, causing a higher cooking temperature. A higher cooking temperature means that the food will cook faster.

The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 13.4 psi . You know that standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7psi , so the booklet must mean 13.4 psi above atmospheric pressure. At what temperature in degrees Celsius will your food cook in this pressure cooker set on "high"?
Express your answer numerically in degrees Celsius.
