Can you describe what a pressure cooker does? How does the higher pressure in a pressure cooker effect the temperature reached and why? Why is there a limit on the cooking temperature in boiling water (at normal pressure) no matter how much you heat it?

At a resort in Sante Fe, New Mexico, the barometric pressure is 625 mm Hg. Water boils in an open pot at 94.5°C. A pressure cooker is set for 1.75 atm.
(a) At what temperature will water boil in that pressure cooker? (For water, ΔHvap=40.7 kJ/molΔHvap=40.7 kJ/mol.)
(b) What is the difference between the boiling point in the open pot and in the pressure cooker?

A long rod, insulated to prevent heat loss along its sides, is in perfect thermal contact with boiling water (at atmospheric pressure) at one end and with an ice-water mixture at the other. The rod consists of a 1.00 m section of copper (with one end in the boiling water) joined end-to-end to a length, L₂, of steel (with one end in the ice water). Both sections of the rod have cross-sectional areas of 4.00 cm². The temperature of the copper-steel junction is 65.0 °C after a steady-state has been reached. How much heat per second flows from the boiling water to the ice-water mixture?
