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.

Will a rock float in water why is it density?

Yes some rocks can float in water. And its determind by density because water density is (8 lbs per gallon and 1 gram per ML) If a rock is lower density then water it floats.


Is density an example of a chemical change?

No, density is simply a property of a substance. It's how "heavy" something is. Water, for example, has a density of 1 gram per milliliter. Meaning every milliliter weighs one gram. Some are much more (Mercury), some are much less (Air).


What would not float on water?

Anything with a density greater than 1 gram per cm3 .


Why do certain object float in water while other sinks?

It is all to do with the density. Water has a density of 1g/cm^3 (1 gram per centimetre cubed). Anything that has a density of less than this will float in water, but anything that has a density greater than this will sink.
