← ScienceWhich outcome results increasing temperature to pressure cooker?
A)Increased vapor pressure drives more boiling✓
B)Pressure linearly follows temperature increase
C)Water's surface tension reaches lower point
D)Evaporation rate becomes equal to condensation
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature introduces greater kinetic energy causing molecules overcome liquid forces to escape, which is the vapor pressure mechanism; therefore, the pressure increases and drives enhanced boiling, rather than a pressure that is entirely linear.
