Chapter 10, Problem 5Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

How many times faster will food be cooked when the pressure of a cooker is increased from normal atmospheric pressure $1atmto2atm$ has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Gay-Lussac’s Law

    $\begin{array}{l}\text{Formula}\text{,}\frac{{\text{P}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{1}}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{P}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}}\text{or}{\text{P}}_{\text{1}}{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}{\text{=P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}\\ T_1=initialtemperature\\ P_1=initialpressure\\ T_2=finaltemperature\\ P_2=finalpressure\end{array}$

Pressure and temperature are directly related at constant volume and of moles.
