How can you find the conclusion for how salty does the sea have to be for an egg to float?
yes i proved my hypothesis correct. for my experiment to be correct it relied heavily on the density of the salt in the water
How egg float in salt water funfacts?
well an egg can float in salt water because of the mass and density of it makes it easier to float
Why does an egg sink in fresh water but float in salt water but stays in the middle when pour water into salt water?
Eggs, water, floating.An egg doesn't float in fresh water but since salt water is more dense than fresh water, it has a better chance of floating in the salt water. The greater buoyant force allows the egg to float in the salt water, if salty enough.More explanationAn egg sinks in fresh water but not in salt water because fresh water is not as dense. In order for something to float, the buoyant force has to be greater than or equal to the weight of the object. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid that is displaced by the object. To figure out the weight of the water displaced you multiply the density of the water by the volume and then multiply that by gravity. The density of the fresh water is less than the density of the salt water, therefore the weight of the water displaced will be greater in the case of the salt water, resulting in a greater buoyant force.The more salt in water the more bouyant an object becomes. The salt makes the water more denser. Check out the dead sea. Most salt content in any lake or sea. The density of the salt water is greater than the density of the egg. Items sink if their own density is greater than the density of whatever they are trying to float in. Items float to the top if their density is less than the density of what they are floating in, and items hang in the middle if the densities are the same. Adding in the salt gives the water a greater density than the water did had before, so the egg doesn't float in freshwater.Did you know?A fresh egg will sink in fresh water but it will float in salty water. A rotten egg will float in fresh water.
Does an egg float in water with flour?
In a mixture of oil and water, the two will separate with the oil on top. If the water has enough solute in it (salt, sugar), the egg will float in the water, but not above the oil. An egg is denser than fresh water, but less dense than salt water. It is denser than most oils.
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.
What formula makes an egg float?
You can float an egg in very salty water.
Why does an egg float in water and not it salty water?
A fresh egg don't float in pure water; in a salty water the floating depends on the concentration of the salt in solution. The salty water is more dense.
How does the amount of salt water affect an egg?
The egg will float at the salty water
In which container did the egg float saly water or fresh water?
salty
How salty does the egg have to be for the egg to float?
The sea has to have at least 4 tablespoons of salt in order for an egg to float.
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!
Does eggs float better on salt water or fresh water?
viscosity of saline water is higher than that of pure water
What does an egg float best in?
In mercury, of course! Bit if you don't like this liquid - in brine, salty water.
The hypothesis of how salty does the sea have to be for an egg to float?
3 tablespoons :)
Is it easier to float or sink in salty water?
float
Can an egg float better with salt?
An egg will sink in fresh water. Salt water is denser than fresh water, which allows the egg to float.
Can a egg can or can't float in water?
an egg can float in salt water.
