Normaly if an egg floats it is bad and should be discarded. As the egg ages air pockets enter the egg, that's why they float.
A change in buoyancy. If the egg is more dense then the water (or whatever liquid it is in), it will sink.

Why did density have to do with salt and egg float?
Put an egg in fresh water and it will sink. Put the egg in heavily salted water and it will float near the surface. This is because the salt makes the water more dense and able to support more weight. The same goes for a ship. A ship will settle lower in fresh water and the same ship will float higher in the oceans.

Which object will sink in simple water and float in salty water?
A Rock would obviously sink in water and a egg would float in salt water Believe it or not bowling balls that are denser than water float!
Do eggs sink or float?

Does the egg float or sink in water?
It sinks because the water is more dense than the egg in the water.
Why does an egg sink in water but float in salt water?
Salt water is denser than pure water.
Will an egg float in salt or fresh water?

What happens if an egg is immersed in salt water?
If the egg is good and not spoiled it will sink down. If the egg is spoiled it will float up.
Will an egg float better in salt water than regular water?
Salt water. Salt water is very hypotonic and will force the egg to float. Regular water is hypertonic and force water in. Causing the egg to sink like the Titanic.
What happens when you put an egg in tap water?
When an egg is submerged under tap water it will float. This is because water is more dense than the egg.
