At higher elevations, the boiling point of water decreases, due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure. as a result, what
could be said about hard boiling an 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.

The correct answer is option b. At higher elevations, it would take longer to hard boil an egg, because there is a lower boiling.

Explanation:

When we boil water at a very high temperature, it turns out that the water boils much faster. This is because the higher we are, there will be less oxygen and less pressure in the atmosphere. This implies that the water vapor becomes steam much faster than as it happens at low temperatures, so less heat will be needed for the water to boil.

That is why if we want to cook an egg, we will have to lower the heat of the kitchen when we put it on the fire, in order to avoid boiling water very quickly. Lowering the heat, then cooking the egg will take much longer.

Given this data, the correct answer is option B, At higher elevations, it would take longer to hard boil an egg, because there is a lower boiling.
