low boiling point and low pressure

Vedclass · Answer

(C) At high altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is significantly lower than at sea level.Since the boiling point of a liquid depends on the external pressure, a decrease in atmospheric pressure leads to a decrease in the boiling point of water.Consequently, water boils at a temperature lower than $100 \, ^\circ	ext{C}$ at high altitudes.Because the water boils at a lower temperature, it does not provide enough heat to cook the rice properly, making the cooking process difficult.

It is difficult to cook rice in an open vessel by boiling it at high altitudes because of
