The cooking time in a pressure cooker is less because:

Options

  1. AMore heat is used
  2. BHigh pressure cooks the food
  3. CThe boiling point of water increases in the cooker
  4. DHeat is uniformly distributed For the reaction : N ₂+3 H ₂ 2 NH ₃

Correct answer

C. The boiling point of water increases in the cooker

Step-by-step solution

In pressure cooker, pressure is high thus, the boiling point of water increases, resulting cooking time is less than other open pots.
