When an egg is boiled, the proteins present inside the egg get denatured and coagulate. After boiling the egg, the water present in it is absorbed by the coagulated protein through H-bonding.

Is boiling an egg endothermic or exothermic?
It is endothermic as the water mus gain energy to go from a liquid to a gas.
Why does an egg cook faster when there is more hot water?
Salt - an impurity - elevates the boiling point of water. Egg will be cooking at a temperature higher than 100 degrees celsius.Denaturation of protein/cooking of egg will occur in less time.
How does water go from room temperature to boiling?
Add heat.
Is boiling an egg a chemical change?
Boiling an egg is and is not a chemical change, depending on how you are chemically defining the egg.Some chemicals inside the egg will undergo various chemical reactions, driven by the heat of the boiling. These reactions will involve the formation of new chemicals with new empirical formulas and the destruction of old ones.Other chemicals, particularly proteins, will undergo changes in their conformation or secondary and tertiary structures. While their empirical formulas will remain unchanged (or largely unchanged), the new structures may have different chemical properties than the old ones.The only way in which the egg does not undergo a chemical change is if you are referring to the empirical formula of the egg as a whole. No atoms leave or enter the egg, so the atomic composition of the egg remains unchanged.
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.
Is boiling an egg endothermic or exothermic?
It is endothermic as the water mus gain energy to go from a liquid to a gas.
Will egg cook faster in boiling water than simmering water?
boiling water.
How does an egg boil?
If it is in boiling water the egg will cook, but the egg will cook before the water in the egg boils.
What happens first an egg frying or a water boiling?
Warm water also boils an egg but once the water reaches its boiling point that is 100C, the egg starts to fry faster and gets hardened
What happens if you put an egg in hot water?
the outside of the egg will be hard because the egg will be boiling
Why salt is added in water for boiling an egg?
Adding salt to the water makes the egg easier to peel.
Which must you have to poach an egg?
You must have a pan full of boiling water, a stove and an egg to poach an egg
What is an egg that is cooked in a pan of boiling water salt and vinegar is considered?
poached egg
When an egg is placed in a beaker of boiling water changes in the egg occur almost immediately What happens and why do the contents of the egg look so different from the contents of an unboiled?
a egg cooks at aprox 65c so if it is poached in boiling water then it will cook
How does a soft egg become hard?
you boil it in boiling water
Why does an egg take the same time to cook in water that is just barely boiling as in water boils vigorously?
If water is boiling, it has reached 100C or 212F. The difference between water that is 'barely' boiling and water that is bubbling away like the pits of hades is probably no more than 1C and therefore not a critical difference when boiling an egg.
What is it when a egg becomes firm?
you boil it in boiling water
