Discuss how the pressure cooker is designed to achieve temperatures above 100°C.​

Physics
1 answer:
Elza [17]2 years ago
4 0

With rising heat, the steam pressure inside the pot builds up beyond atmospheric pressure, allowing the temperatures to rise well above boiling point. This design enables to save time, energy, and resources. The temperature inside a pressure cooker can well go beyond 110° C, which reduces the time needed to cook food.

Which statement about homeostasis is true?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Homeostasis helps to maintain body equilibrium.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is defined as the maintenance of a fairly constant internal environment in an organism. Body fluids such as blood, lymph, and tissue fluids make up the internal environment of the body, hence by the action of the nervous and endocrine system, there levels are maintained at a body equilibrium, by the help of brain, which has overall control of homeostasis while other parts such as kidney, liver, skin, hormones are also involved.

Andre heated several solid crystals of a substance called iodine, and the iodine changed directly to a gas. The iodine gas then
Strike441 [17]

The correct choice is

B. sublimation, then condensation

Sublimation is the name of the process where a solid directly converts into gas on heating. on heating solid crystals of iodine directly change into gas. hence this is sublimation.

condensation is the process where gas is converted into liquid on cooling.

here iodine gas is being converted into droplets on reducing the temperature. hence this is condensation.

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure is  P_g  =  2058 \ P_a

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The height of the water contained is  h_w  =  30 \ cm  =  0.3 \ m

        The height of liquid in the cylinder is  h_t  =  40 \ cm  = 0.4 \ m

       

At the bottom of the cylinder the gauge pressure is  mathematically represented as

        P_g  =  P_w + P_o

Where  P_w is the pressure of water which is mathematically represented as

      P_w  =  \rho_w  *  g * h_w

Now  \rho_w is the density of water with a constant values of  \rho_w  = 1000 \ kg /m^3

   substituting values

      P_w  = 1000 *  9.8 *  0.3

     P_w  =  2940 \  Pa

While P_o is the pressure of oil which is mathematically represented as

          P_o  =  \rho_o *  g *  (h_t -h_w )

Where \rho _o is the density of oil with a constant value

         \rho _o  = 900 \ kg / m^3

substituting values

       P_o  =  900 *  9.8 * (0.4 - 0.3)

       P_o  =  882 \ Pa

Therefore

      P_g  =  2940 - 882

      P_g  =  2058 \ P_a
