AnswerSalt has nothing to do with it.A fresh egg will sink in water. Stale eggs will have propagated gases within them, causing them to float in water.
This is a classic test for egg freshness.
What is written above may be part true, but the salt has a lot to do with it because without it with the same egg withing the same 5 minutes with salt it floats and without it, it dose not.

Does Egg Float In Salt Water Or Fresh Water?
Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
Why do eggs float to the top in salt water?
This had to do with density. When you put the egg into the water, it sinks as it is more dense than the water. However, if you add salt in the water, it becomes salt water and makes the water more dense than the egg so the egg can float. It is the same reason why people float in the dead sea. The dead sea is very salty and is more dense than humans. That's why we float so well in the dead sea.
If pure water has a density of one gram per milliliter why does an egg sink in it but float in salt water?
That indicates that the average density of an egg is greater than the density of pure water but less than that of salt water. Salt water has more density the regular/pure water and the more salt you add the more it floats.
What is in the salt water why the egg float?
Salt water have a higher density.So it can produce enough upthrust to make the egg float.
How did they transport water in the 1900s?
they used boats and floats, ICECREAM FLOATS
What type of salt can floats an egg?
sea salt
Why does an egg float on salt water?
an egg floats by its self
What happens when an egg is put into salt water?
It floats.
What should happen when a egg has its shell carefully removed and is then placed in salt water?
It floats. the whole egg floats if you put it in salt 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 always has to float in salt water?
i did this project before the egg floats because the salt has a lot of molecules
What made the egg float in salt water?
that the water with salt well make the egg float
Why egg floats in concentrated salt water?
Egg floats only when the density of the salt solution is almost equal to the density of the egg.The density is made equal by making the salt solution saturaed i.e by adding more salt so that the net mass increases and thus increasing the density. Thus by displacing a small amount of water,the egg floats
What happen in an egg when it placed in a salt solution?
The salt water egg experiment is to demonstrate that salt water is denser so the egg floats. When the egg is placed in pure water, the egg sinks because pure water is less dense than salt water.
Examples of buoyancy?
An egg floating in salt water. The salt makes the water more dense. Since the egg is less dense it floats!
Is making an egg float in salt water chemistry or science or physics?
Density is physical, that's what 'egg-floats-in-salt-water-' is all about.
Why does egg sink in fresh water but in salt water it floats?
Salt water is denser than fresh.
