  • question_answer
    It is difficult to cook at high altitude, because

    A)  There is less oxygen in the air

    B)  Due to fall in temperature, one has to give more heat

    C)  Due to decrease in atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water decreases

    D)  Of high moisture content at higher altitudes

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\frac{dP}{dT}=\frac{J{{L}_{vap}}}{T({{V}_{2}}-{{V}_{1}})}\] in case of boiling \[{{V}_{2}}\] is always greater  than \[{{V}_{1}}\] so with decrease in pressure, B.P. (boiling point) also decreases & we feel difficulty in cooking at high altitude.
