because there is very little air pressure up that high in the atmosphere.

Why does water boil at a higher temperature in a pressure cooker?
less than 100oC.
Can you use a pressure cooker to cook bread or pancakes?
No cause you just cant it wont taste right
How could you make water boil at 221 degrees Fahrenheit could it include a pressure cooker?
Yes it could. It needs to be heated under pressure and for the increase in temperature required, a pressure cooker will be more than enough.
Why do you boil lids before canning when they will be boiled during the process anyway?
Sometimes you boil the lids and sometimes you don't. If you are canning with either a hot water bath or in a pressure cooker, you do not need to boil the lids. If you are canning something that is put into the jar hot and is not going to be processed in the the bath or pressure cooker, you boil the lid to soften the rubber in the lid that forms the seal.
Mount everest has a high pressure to boil water?
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.
Can i boil potatoes in my halogen oven?
can i boil potatoes in my halogen cooker
If a Christmas pudding takes 6 hours to boil how long will it take in a pressure cooker?
my book says 10 hours on high
Can you boil water without heating?
Reduce the air pressure it exists in.The lower the pressure the lover the temp needed to boil it. That's why a cup of tea on top of mount Everest is just not too hot.
Why is it difficult to hard boil an egg at high altitude?
Because the air pressure is lower then at sealevel, the boiling temperature of the water is lower. Unless you have a (high) pressure cooker.
What is the advantage of a pressure cooker in the term of physics?
In pressure cooker temperature rises to about 120 degree centigrade due to higher pressure than atmospheric pressure. Witch makes it makes food to get cooked faster than in open pot where water boils at 100 degree centigrade. Pressure cooker becomes essential at high altitude where water may boil at about 70 degree centigrade.
Will water boil at same temperature on Mount Averest?
No.Because,on mount everest, atmospheric pressure is very low than on seashore. So, the vapor pressure required for boiling is low and vapor pressure is directly proportional with temperature.Hence, water will boil at the temperature less than 100C.
If the pressure cooker is fully isolated than does water boils?
If it is fully isolated then, presumably, there is no heat reaching it and so the water in it cannot boil.
