Will pasta cook faster if the water boils more vigorously? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, the pasta will not cook faster if the water boils more vigorously.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of boiling point

The boiling point is the temperature at which the pressure of the vapor becomes similar to the external pressure applied to the fluid. It is only related to the liquid phase.

02

Step 2:Effect of temperature on the cooking of pasta

The pasta will not cook faster in vigorously boiling water because the temperature of boiling water is the same, whether it boils fast or slow. The time taken to cook pasta depends on the temperature maintained at cooking andnot the rate of boiling the water.
