Rosa lives in New York City, which has an average altitude of 33 feet. When she is at home, it takes her 10
minutes to cook noodles in boiling water. She decides to go on a camping trip to Mount McKinley. Her
campsite is located 11,000 feet above sea level. Write the answer to each.
A) Where will the atmospheric pressure be higher: at her home or her campsite?

B) Where will the boiling point be higher?

C) Will the noodles cook faster, slower, or at the same rate at her campsite than home?

At a higher altitude the atmospheric pressure lowers so little amount of heat is required for the vapor pressure of water to equalize with the atmospheric pressure at a higher altitude.

The pressure at the Rosa's home will be higher and lower in the campsite.

The boiling point will be higher at her home.

As the boiling point is lower in the campsite the water used in cooking noodles will evaporate faster this may lead to the noodles being under cooked. The water may evaporate before the noodles have cooked. So, the noodles will cook at a slower rate at the campsite and faster in her home.

A. The atmospheric pressure at Rosa's home is higher than her campsite.

B. The boiling point of water at Rosa's home is higher.

C. The noodles will be cooked faster at Rosa's home compared to at the campsite

A. The pressure has been the force that has been exerted by the molecules against each other, The higher altitude has lesser air molecules, which resulted in the lower pressure.

Since the pressure at 33 feet has been higher as than the pressure at 11,000 feet altitude, the atmospheric pressure at Rosa's home is higher than her campsite.

B. The boiling point has been the temperature at which liquids have been converted to gases. With the decrease in atmospheric pressure, there has been a lowering in the boiling point as well.

The atmospheric pressure at Rosa's home is higher compared to her campsite. Thus, the boiling point of water at Rosa's home is higher.

C. The lower atmospheric pressure at the campsite has been responsible for the lower boiling point of the temperature, This implies that water has converted to steam at lower temperatures. The lower temperature of water requires more time for the noodles to be cooked.

Thus, the noodles will be cooked faster at Rosa's home compared to at the campsite.
