What is heaver then water?
A lot of things are denser than water. It depends on how much water you are using.
Why do people float in salt water?
Basically, if something is lighter than water, it will float. If the water is somehow made heavier, more things will be lighter than it. If you add a lot of salt to water, the body of water becomes heavier. Something that is heavier than water might be lighter than saltwater and float in saltwater but not normal water.
Why do you float easy in salt water?
Salt water has salt and minerals in the water making it denser. When the water is denser it holds you up. The Dead Sea is so full of minerals and salt that you can just lay there and read. You don't even have to try. Salt water has salt and minerals in the water making it denser. When the water is denser it holds you up.

What things float in salt water?
Objects such as wood, plastic, cork, and certain metals like aluminum can float in salt water due to their lower density compared to the water. Other materials like rock, glass, and steel tend to sink in salt water due to their higher density.
What is the difference in salinity between salt water and fresh water environment?
To be blunt, salt water has a lot more salinity than fresh water.
Does the buoyancy of salt water differ from fresh water?
The more salt in water the more bouyant an object becomes. The salt makes the water more denser. Check out the dead sea or most salt content in any lake or sea. The density of the salt water is greater than the density of an object. 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 item doesn't float in freshwater. It may seem odd that an enormous ship can float when steel is denser than water. However, if you look at the entire ship you see that there are many places filled with things less dense than water, like air. This means that the density of the entire ship is less dense than that of water and it floats.
Is salt water a good conductor?
good is relative. Salt water is a lot better than water or oil, but is never as good as a metal. Salt water is a good enough to conduct a small current with a battery.
Why is salt water more dense than sugar water?
Salt water. There are plenty of explanations why salt water is denser. Basically, because salt is denser.
How does salt water affect the ability of an egg to float?
How Can I make An Egg Float in Salt Water whats the ingredents and more important how may i do this Experiment Since this is an experiment, keep dissolving more salt until the egg floats. It should once you've added enough. It all has to do with the amount of water , and the amount of salt dissolved in it.
Why do some objects float and others dont?
Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float
What is PH of died fish?
That depends on a lot of factors. If it is salt water, it would be different than fresh water. What it ate and where you took the reading also matter a lot
How much salt will it take to make an egg float in water?
to make an egg lout it takes at least five tablespoons of salt It depends on what type of salt you use to make the egg float. it would be a fun science fair project for elementary to middle school. my son did this and he had a lot of fun. i used walmart brand salt and it works best
