Water Will Boil Spontaneously in a Vacuum

Question 98

Multiple Choice

Water will boil spontaneously in a vacuum. Could you cook an egg in this boiling water?


A) Yes, since the water is boiling it has enough energy to cook the egg even if it is at room temperature.
B) No, because food is cooked by the transfer of thermal energy from the water to the food, and water at room temperature does not have enough thermal energy to cook an egg.
C) Yes, since the food is not under pressure in the vacuum, it will also cook at a much lower temperature.
D) No, the food would not cook because the thermal energy could not be transferred to the food in a vacuum.
