Yes; that is why objects float more easily in salt water.
yes, its true, the dead sea is so dense because of the salt that people can just float on top effortlessly
The salt that is added dissolves into the water. The mass of the salt then adds to the mass of the water, increasing the density.

There's less mass in it, and that's why you float easier in saltwater (like in the Red Sea), because there's a higher threshold to how much density the object can have.

Does an egg have more dense then water?
The density of liquids really depends on the suspended matter in it. If you have really dense concentration of salt in water, yes it could be denser than an egg. If you have merely a weak solution of salt, then the egg is denser... it depend on how much salt you have in the water.
Is water with more salt more dense than water with less salt?
Yes, in fact, there is a lake called the Dead Sea, which has a very high salinity level, so high, that people float as if they were on a float or a raft.
How does the density of a pure substance change?
The density of water changes when salt is added to it. Density is mass per volume. If salt is added to water, mass is increased but volume remains the same.
An egg sinks in fresh water but floats in a strong solution of salt why?
because following the density principle, the density of the egg compared to the density of the tap water is lesser....(the density principle states that an object or substance with lesser density will float on the surface of the substance or object which has the greater density...).....now,,,with salt,,, salt makes the density of the tap water to increase and increases also the salinity of the water making the egg float because the density of the water with salt is now greater than the density of the egg.... An egg will float when the density of the water is greater than the density of the egg. Adding salt increases the density of a salt water solution. Whether the egg floats or sinks depends on the condition of the egg as well as the amount of salt in the water. If an object is LESS dense than the solution that it is in, then it WILL float. If an object is MORE dense than the solution it is in, then it WILL NOT float. An egg is more dense than regular water; therefore, the egg will sink. But when you add salt to the water, you are making the solution more dense. The salt water's density becomes greater to the point that it is more dense than the egg. Because the egg is now LESS dense than the water, it floats.
Does adding salt change the buoyancy of plain water?
Adding salt in water changes the buoyancy of plain water because the salt makes the water denser. This shows when an egg is place in water with salt, it floats, while with plain water, the egg sinks.
Is salt water less dense than tap water?
salt water is more dense than tap water
Since salt dissolves in water does this decrease its density?
Salt water will be more dense than the water, but less dense than the salt.
Examples of buoyancy?
An egg floating in salt water. The salt makes the water more dense. Since the egg is less dense it floats!
Why does salt in water make objects float?
Things float in water if they are less dense than the water they are floating in. Putting salt in the water makes it more dense, so things that are a little more dense than ordinary water float in salt water.
Is warm salt water more dense than cold salt water?
Cold water is more dense.
Does salt make water heavier?
No; water maintains a constant mass of 1 gram milliliter. If you add salt to the mix, it won't make the water heavier, although the combined weight of both salt and water put together will be greater than the water by itself. So no the water does not get heavier, your just adding more weight in the form of salt.
Why do you float better in the sea?
The more salt there is in water the more buoyant an object is. The salt makes the water dense. Objects only float if they have less density than salt.
How does salt in water affect the boiancy of an egg?
as the salt dissolves in the water the water becomes more dense, so the egg will be more buoyant. (at least you tried to spell it correctly)
Why does water become less dense as it expands?
Water becomes dense when it is more saturated than absorbing a solution. For example, salt with make water more dense because as more salt is added, it becomes saturated.
Is rainwater more dense than salt water?
No, rain water is almost pure water as it has evaporated and will only contain small dust particles from the atmosphere. Salt water contains disolved salt and is therfore more dense.
Which is more dense fresh or salt water?
salt water
Does water become more or less dense after 3 level spoonfuls of salt were added How do you know?
denser, the buoyancy of objects is one way you can tell the water gets less dense.
