I would think water. What you would do, is take a glass of water, peel the egg, put salt in, then put the egg in, and I think that is it. I haven't tried it out, but I am pretty sure that's all to it.

Why does an egg float in saltwater?
First, to answer this question, you must know that something floats when it is less dense than the liquid. Normally, an egg just barely sinks in in water, by adding salt to the water, it makes the water denser and thence changes its volume. It makes the water denser than the egg, which causes it to float on the water.
What happens when you soak the egg in salt water?
When you soak an egg in salt water it should shrivel or become smaller. This is because the salt water pulls out the existing water from the egg.
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 have more dense then water?
The density of liquids really depends on the suspended matter in it. If you have really dense concentration of salt in water, yes it could be denser than an egg. If you have merely a weak solution of salt, then the egg is denser... it depend on how much salt you have in the water.
What happens to an egg when placed in salt water?
The egg will decrease in size (water will exit) if the shell is removed by some means before the egg is placed in the solution. If the shell has not been removed, however, not much will happen as the shell is basically impermeable.
Who invented an egg floating in salt water?
woetso jigdak invented an egg floating in salt water.
How do you analyze your observation on egg floating in salt water?
no
What is the conclusion about a egg floating better in salt water?
gtgtg
When the egg floating in the saltwater are they related in physics?
Floating is a physical process. Generally the density of egg is slightly more than that of pure water. When a salt is dissolved in water its density is increased defending on the concentration of the salt in the water. Since the density of salt solution is more egg floats in salt solution.
Examples of buoyancy?
An egg floating in salt water. The salt makes the water more dense. Since the egg is less dense it floats!
What factor accounts for the differences of egg floating on salt water and does not float on ordinary water?
Density of salt water.
Does a egg float in slat water or regular water better?
An egg will float better in salt water. The density of salt water is greater than regular water hence better floating by the egg.
What risks are involved by doing the floating egg in salt water experiment?
There are no serious/significant risks involved in the experiment.
What happens if you put an egg in salt water for a week?
If you put an egg in salt water for a week, the egg will begin to undergo osmosis. The salt concentration in the water will cause water to move out of the egg, resulting in the egg shrinking and becoming smaller in size. The egg's membrane may also become translucent or appear to be semi-transparent.
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.
Can an egg float on salt water and baking soda water at the same time?
The egg does not float with just baking soda and water you must add a lot of salt to the mixture and then the egg will float.
What materials do you need to make an egg float in salt water?
An egg with an intact shell, warm water, a lot of table salt (NaCl), a suitable container to hold the above. Pour the (warm) water to the container, stir while adding salt to the water, keep adding salt until no more will dissolve (This is a saturated solution), allow to cool & gently place egg into the salt water.
