One Answer: If one egg is rotten, the rotting creates gas inside the egg, which makes it float. That is one way to test whether an egg is good to eat or not. If it floats, trash it. There is an air pocket on the fatter side of the egg. The older egg gets the larger this bubble becomes. Making it more buoyant. When an egg is bad they will float so beware when you crack them.
Fresh eggs are dense and filled with fluids. Yolk and albumen fill the available space inside the shell completely. Egg shells are actually porous however and as they age they lose moisture from inside the shell. This moisture loss is replaced by air and that air forms a bubble inside the shell which eventually gets large enough to make the old egg float on water.
The salt in ocean water causes the water to be heavier, making the object more buoyant
unboiled eggs float, but the boiled ones sink.
An egg will sink in fresh water. Salt water is denser than fresh water, which allows the egg to float.
Salt water is much denser than fresh water and therefore can provide a much greater buoyant force.
As heptane is lighter than water, it will float.
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
i think it is ppeople because they float in salt water and sink in fresh water.
If you just barely float in salt water, you will sink in fresh water.
The older an egg is the more likely it is to float. If it actually sits on the surface it may actually have gone bad.
unboiled eggs float, but the boiled ones sink.
It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than fresh water, it will sink. If it is less dense than the fresh water, it will float.
As the egg decomposes, the mass of the egg is reduced. This is because the egg shell is porous and water vapor and gases can escape over time, reducing the mass of the egg. If the mass of the egg is less than the mass of the volume of water displaced by the egg, it will float.
Fresh eggs are less dense than water and hence will float whereas old eggs will sink at the bottom of the container filled with water. Similarly, a regular soda can will sink in water and a diet soda can will float on water. Water have a density of 1.00 g/cm3.
Ships float in fresh water too. Only a little deeper, since fresh water is less dense than salt water.
Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense. -- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.
because of the salt in the water
no< fresh water will become mixed with the salt water
the salt water is denser because of the salt
