How does a pressure cooker demonstrate the effect of air pressure on waters boiling point?

Vapour rom the boiling water is not allowed to escape and so the pressure above the water increases. This raises the temperature at which the water inside the cooker boils.


Why does sugar raise boiling point?

Sugar increases the boiling waters temperature because it is an impurity. Impurities are dissolving molecules. Another example of an impurity is salt, although salt has a much greater affect on boiling water than sugar does. Impurities will increase water's boiling point because they are able to dilute the concentration/ solution of the water. In other words: the amount of water molecules will decrease and so will the amount of molecules that are able to vaporize at the specific temperature. This causes the need for a higher temperature in order to gain the same amount of vapor pressure, thus raising the boiling point.
