Question 8 • FL-2003350-Chemistry 1 Honors

Due to lower atmospheric pressure at high altitudes, water boils at 92°C instead of 100°C. How will this difference affect cooking times? How will it affect the time needed to boil spaghetti noodles as compared to the amount of time needed at sea level?

Answer
A
It will be longer.
B
It will be shorter.
C
It will be the same.

Explanation

At high altitudes, water boils at 92°C, which is cooler than the 100°C water at sea level. Since the noodles cook in water at a lower temperature, they take longer to cook. Therefore, boiling spaghetti will take longer than it does at sea level; choice A, “It will be longer,” is correct.
