Why does it take longer to boil an egg on nthe top of Mt Everest versus at sea level?

It should take virtually no time to boil an egg atop Mt. Everest, as the air is less dense (it is higher up) so there is less pressure keeping the water from undergoing a phase change and boiling.

Mount everest has a high pressure to boil water?
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.
Why is the boiling point of water on mount Everest low?
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.
How is air pressure relative to sea level?
Air pressure is higher at sea-level, so a kettle will boil quickly. Air pressure lessens the higher one climbs, so a kettle will take a long time to boil on the top of Mount Everest.
What is boiling point if mount Everest and normal water?
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.
How long do you boil raw chicken?

Why is the boiling point of water different on mount Everest and in room temperature?
The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.
How long does it take to boil water at sea level?
That depends directly on the altitude. On top of Mt Everest, the boiling point of water is so cool that it is nearly impossible to cook anything. At pretty high altitudes, you might have to boil the egg for an hour.
Will water take more time to boil on Mount Everest than on a California beach?
true
How do they cook on Mount Everest?
They cook using small gas stoves. It takes a long time to cook or even boil water on Mount Everest due to the altitude.
How long does it take a cup of water to boil at 160 F?
Quite a while. You have to go to 30,000 feet above sea level--and you'll need to do it in an airplane because Mount Everest is only 29,000 feet at the peak. Anyway, once you've gone that high it just takes a few minutes to boil the water.
Which place does water boil at 68 degrees?
This place is the Everest Mountain (Chomolungma), 8 848 m altitude.
Why vegetables are cooked with difficulty at a hill station?
At high altitudes, the boiling point of water is lower than at sea level. Therefore, you may have to boil vegetables for longer.
