ernesto lara - elevation and boiling point lyrics
elevation will affect the boiling point of water.
elevation will affect the boiling point of water
here’s a question posed by mr. lewis back in grade ten
when he broke it down scientifically, it made sense
here’s what you’ve got – an egg in a pot –
and when you raise the water temperature to boiling hot
will it cook faster at the level of the sea
or the top of a mountain that’s as high as can be?
he asked, “will it cook faster at the level of the sea
or the top of a mountain that’s as high as can be?”
we just looked at him stuck, like, “cooking is cooking, bro.”
left without a clue to the answer he was looking for
so he started talking about temperature and pressure
and how up on a mountain [the] air pressure’s much lesser
than down at sea level, so then as the water’s heated
the greater the surrounding pressure – more heat is needed
to make the energy inside the water so great
to the point that the water vapor has to escape
and so high up on the mountain, the molecules are pressing
on significantly less dense air, and suggesting
the boiling temperature will be lower at the mountain top
so the cooking water up there is really not as hot
lower pressure will reduce the boiling point of water
considering the situation – how this all started –
the egg up on the mountain where the air pressure’s lower
is in water that is not as hot and so it cooks slower
so that’s the answer to the question – learned it
back in grade ten
we just broke it down scientifically, it makes sense
things will cook faster at the level of the sea
than the top of a mountain that’s as high as can be
you know things will cook faster at the level of the sea
than the top of a mountain and now you can see
it’s all science
science rules everything around me
