At a high altitude camp in the Rockies, water boils at 95.4°C instead of 100.0°C. A visitor has requested a
soft-boiled egg (usually boiled for 3.00 minutes at 100.0°C). The activation energy for the reaction in question is 453 kJ/mol.

egg protein (l) egg protein (s) How long will it take to cook his egg at 95.4°C?
The answers say 18.6min. However, they use this formula:
ln(t2)=ln(t1)+(1/T2-1/T1)x(Ea/R)
I believe the formula should be:
ln(t2)=ln(t1)-(1/T2-1/T1)x(Ea/R)
Am I right?
