Jul 19, 2020 at 6:25 comment added V.G @DrMoishePippik I think a "three minute egg" is just a name for creating sarcasm. This problem came in my test.
Jul 19, 2020 at 4:49 comment added DrMoishe Pippik Hint: 300 minutes to make a 3 minute egg. And yes, that is unrealistically long.
Jul 19, 2020 at 1:19 comment added Zhe This is too clever for its own good. That's not how rate constants work, assuming this is not a zero-order "reaction." The reason I say this is that "doneness" is probably a function of the progress of the reaction in terms of the starting concentration, e.g., done is 90% reactant consumed. However, if you look at how a half-life is computed for a reaction greater than zero order, it is not a linear function of the rate constant. Therefore, the logic behind this problem is deeply flawed.
