What else can I help you with?
Can you put salt in water to make an object float?
Yes, adding salt to water increases its density, which can make some objects that would normally sink, like eggs, float. By altering the density of the water, the buoyant force exerted on the object can be increased to make it float.
How much salt does it take to make an appl e float?
An apple can actually float in water that is not treated with salt. Adding salt will encourage the apple to float to the top. When you add salt to water, it allows the water to become more dense.
How does salt make a quarter float?
it makes bubbles in water which has enough energy to make it float
Do you have to use hot water and salt to make an egg float?
no you do not. But you can. A drop of vinegar helps!
Why is it that the egg will float if there is salt added in the water?
This is because Salt adds density to the water. In other words, by adding and dissolving salt in the water, you make the water heavier than the egg.
How much salt does it take to make and object float?
The amount of salt required for an object to float depends on the object's density. For example, in water, objects will float when they displace an amount of water equal to their weight. Adding salt to increase the water's density can make it easier for less dense objects to float. The specific amount of salt will vary depending on the object's weight and size.
What materials do you need to make an egg float in salt water?
An egg with an intact shell, warm water, a lot of table salt (NaCl), a suitable container to hold the above. Pour the (warm) water to the container, stir while adding salt to the water, keep adding salt until no more will dissolve (This is a saturated solution), allow to cool & gently place egg into the salt water.
How many teaspoons of vinegar does it take to make an egg to float?
The density of the average egg will be slightly greater than water, so it will sink. To make the egg float, make the water more dense by adding salt. For one cup of water, adding three tablespoons of salt should be about enough to make the egg float.
Will salt in water make a coke can float?
it depends on how much salt is in the water. if there is enough, the soda can will float.
Can adding more salt to water make a metal spoon float?
No, adding more salt to water will increase the density of the water, making the spoon more likely to sink rather than float. The increased density of the saltwater would effectively displace more water, causing the spoon to become more submerged.
Will salt make an egg float?
yes, salt will make a egg float in water not on a table though
Does objects that float in water float in salt water?
Yes. Salt water has a slightly higher density then fresh water which means its a little easier for things to float in salt water. So if it floats in fresh water it will certainly float in salt water.
