Q. It is difficult to cook rice in an open vessel by boiling it at high altitudes because of

WBJEEWBJEE 2009Thermal Properties of Matter

Solution:

At high altitude pressure is low and therefore boiling point is also low. In this case water starts boiling below its boiling point but rice cooks at $100^{\circ} C$. So, it is difficult to cook rice at high altitudes.
