Question

At higher elevations, the boiling point of water decreases, due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure. As a result, what

Answer 1

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.

Explanation:

The best answer from the given choices is that, 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.

• Boiling point is simply the pressure at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure.
• At higher elevations, the atmospheric pressure is low and it would require little heat to boil water and turn it into vapor.
• To hard boil an egg, we need elevated temperature.
• But since water to use hard boiling has an unusually low temperature, it becomes more difficult since much of the water turns into vapor.
• This is why at higher elevations, it takes a longer time to hard boil eggs.
