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.

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 an egg float in water with flour?
In a mixture of oil and water, the two will separate with the oil on top. If the water has enough solute in it (salt, sugar), the egg will float in the water, but not above the oil. An egg is denser than fresh water, but less dense than salt water. It is denser than most oils.
Is a magnet more dense than water?
a magnet is more dense then water
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
more dense
Which type of water is more dense cold salty water or warm less salty water?
Water is more dense the colder it becomes. It is also more dense the saltier it becomes.
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 salt cause an egg to float?
Floatation or boyancy is accomplished when a body displaces more mass than it possesses. Basically, if the water is more dense than the egg, the egg will float on the water kind of like oil on water. The salt dissolves in the water making it more dense until you reach the point where the water is more dense than the egg and then the egg floats.
Examples of buoyancy?
An egg floating in salt water. The salt makes the water more dense. Since the egg is less dense it floats!
How does an egg float on salt water?
Because the salt water is more dense than the egg.
Why does boiled egg sink?
An egg sinks if it is more dense than water.
What are the Methods of Procedure for an egg floats in salt water?
because the salt water is more dense than the egg
Why does an egg float on salt water only?
Because salt water is more dense than the egg therefore making the egg float
What makes a raw egg more dense?
A raw egg is not more dense than a boiled egg.
Does the egg float or sink in water?
It sinks because the water is more dense than the egg in the water.
Can salt water make an egg float?
Yes , because salt adds density to the water making it more dense than the egg - which makes the egg float ! (:
What makes the egg float in the salt water?
Well... The salt in the water makes the egg float because the water becomes more dense than just plain water
