A student researches the use of a pressure cooker to cook foods quickly at temperatures above the normal boiling point of water. (a.) How could you use a particle model to describe why the pressure in a sealed pressure cooker increases as the water is heated. b. What effect does the higher pressure have on the boiling point of water? Explain your reasoning.
