Entropy is a thermodynamic term. Re the hard boiling of an egg: You are going to a more
"ordered" state , i.e., positive entropy. However, entropy in this case is overwhelmed by the
-∆H which is the negative heat provided by the proteins hydrogen bonding. Thus, the energy
driving force is the important term and not the entropy in this case.

How To Make A Egg Bounce?
Don't quote me on this, but I think it'll bounce if you hard-boil it first.
Why does egg without shell become hard boiled when placed in boiled water?
Because in the boiled water the egg can only be heated to maximum 100 degree centigrade temperature while in crank shell the egg can be heated higher and higher since the crank shell is made of solid calcium which has no melting point.
What happens if you boil an egg for 4 minutes at a 6500 ft altitude?
Interesting question. Here is my best guess: An altitude of 6500 feet is around 2 kilometers high. The atmospheric pressure at that altitude is around 800 millibar. According to the '91 CRC Handbook, the boiling point of water at an external pressure of 800 millibar is 93oC. After surfing some cooking sites for a few minutes I learned a couple things: 1. Hard boil an egg it is best not to boil it... you place them in boiling water but immediately kill the heat. 2. Those that did talk about boiliing the egg in water gave a time of around 3 minutes for soft boiling and 8 minutes for hard boiling. So if you were to boil the egg for 4 minutes at a temperature 7 degrees less than the normal boiling point of water, I would guess you would end up with a soft-boiled egg.
Which units would be most appropriate for measuring the length of time needed to boil an egg?
The most appropriate unit for measuring the length of time needed to boil an egg is seconds, minutes, or even potentially hours, depending on the specific cooking time required. For example, if the egg takes about 5 minutes to boil, it can be expressed as 300 seconds or 0.083 hours.
When you boil an egg does the water the egg or the pan undergo a chemical change?
Egg goes from liquid to solid. Water becomes steam, pan becomes hot. Cooking = chemical change.
