Question

At higher elevations, the boiling point of water decreases, due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure. As a result, what conclusion could be drawn from the boiling egg?a.
At higher elevations, it would take less time to hard boil an egg, because there is less atmospheric pressure.
b.
At higher elevations, it would take longer to hard boil an egg, because there is a lower boiling point, so the egg is boiling in water at a lower temperature.
c.
At higher elevations, it would take less time to hard boil an egg, because there is a lower boiling point. Therefore it would take less time to achieve the boiling point.
d.
At higher elevations, it would take longer to hard boil an egg, because it would take longer to achieve the boiling point.

Answer 1

I believe the correct response is A. At higher elevations it would take less time to hard boil an egg, because there is less atmospheric pressure.
