Does salt effect density of water?

Yes it does,it increases the amount of density


Does freshwater have a lower density than salt water?

Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.


Explanation why egg float in salt water?

Because the salt water is denser than pure 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.

Can salt affect the density of an egg?

In aspect of egg floated in salt water is no, egg didn't change it's density just salted water is more dense. In the aspect of salted egg (marinaded in salted water for a week) is yes. Diffused salt content would increase the density of the egg.

Why does salt water affect the way objects float?

salt water is different from tap water. when salt is added to water it converts the tap water to salt water. This increases the density of the water, and allows more objects to float above it. remember, when objects are mixed like that, the greater the density, the further it is from the surface.


What is the density for 1ml of salt?

The density of a pure salt crystal is 2,165 g/cm3. This is a true density. The density of fine powdered salt (apparent density) is variable: approx. 1 g/cm3.
