Really? Density = mass/(divided by) volume
congrats, you just got owned by an 8th grader =)
One substance will float on another if its density is less. By adding salt you are increasing the density of the solution. As you add salt, at some point the density of the solution will reach and then exceed the density of the egg
Yes, a raw egg will float if the salt concentration is high enough. This is possible because adding salt creates a solution with a greater density than water. As more salt is added, the density of the solution increases. At a certain point, the density of the solution becomes greater than the density of the raw egg, allowing the egg to float in the solution.*This experiment is a very good demonstration of the principle of buoyancy.
An egg floats in a salt solution because the density of the salt solution is higher than that of the egg, causing the egg to float. In fresh water, the density is lower than the egg, causing it to sink.
Floating is a physical process. Generally the density of egg is slightly more than that of pure water. When a salt is dissolved in water its density is increased defending on the concentration of the salt in the water. Since the density of salt solution is more egg floats in salt solution.
The density of a salt water solution compared against the densities of "pure" water and salt provides an approximate value of the ratio of water to salt in the mixture.
The density of the salt solution is 1.14 g/ml. This is calculated by dividing the mass (57.0 g) by the volume (50.0 ml).
The density of the salt solution is calculated by dividing the mass of the solution by its volume. In this case, the density would be 234 g divided by 210 mL, which equals 1.114 g/mL.
Why can evaporation be used to find out how much salt is in a solution

This depends on salt concentration; however it ranges roughly from 1.0 (low) to 1.6 g/mL at high concentration. Seawater 1.02 - 1.03
When salt is dissolved in water, the mass of the water increases without a significant increase in volume, increasing the density of the solution. This is because the added salt molecules displace some of the water molecules and fill the space in between them, making the solution denser.
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.
