The cooking of an egg involves the denaturation of a protein called albumen. The time required to achieve a particular degree of denaturation is inversely proportional to the rate constant for the process. This reaction has a high activation energy, E, = 418 kJ mol ¹. Calculate how long it would take to cook a traditional three-minute egg on top of Mt. McKinley in Alaska on a day when the atmospheric pressure there is 355 torr.
