**Pressure Cooking and Boiling Point: A Study on Cooking Rates and Activation Energy**When using a pressure cooker, water boils at a temperature greater than 100°C because it is under pressure. This elevated temperature increases the rate of chemical reactions involved in cooking food.**Exercise:****(a)** Evaluate the scenario where food cooks completely in a pressure cooker at 111.0°C within 7.00 minutes and takes 49.0 minutes to cook in an open pot at 100.0°C. Determine the average activation energy for the chemical reactions involved in cooking this food.- **Answer:** \( \boxed{\text{kJ mol}^{-1}} \)**(b)** Calculate the cooking time for the same food in an open pot at an altitude of 9500 feet, where the boiling point of water is 90.3°C.- **Answer:** \( \boxed{\text{min}} \)

i) To determine the activation energy for the reaction associated with the cooking of food. Given:…

The water in a pressure cooker boils at a temperature greater than 100°C because it is under pressure. At this higher temperature, the chemical reactions associated with the cooking of food take place at a greater rate. (a) Some food cooks fully in 7.00 min in a pressure cooker at 111.0°C and in 49.0 minutes in an open pot at 100.0°C. Calculate the average activation energy for the reactions associated with the cooking of this food.
