-The egg sunk in the water, but floated on the saltwater.

You learned that the egg is denser than water (thus it sinks), but the egg is less dense than saltwater (therefore it floats).

Why salt is added in water for boiling an egg?

Adding salt to the water makes the egg easier to peel.


What effects does the amount of salt have on floatability of an egg?

The larger the salt concentration in the water, the more quickly the egg will achieve flotation. Adding salt to the water will cause the egg to float.


How does adding salt to water make an egg float?

because salt increases the density of water so, egg ascend to top


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.


Why does an egg float when salt is added?

Adding salt to the water increases its density. On adding certain quantity of salt, the density of water becomes greater than that of egg. So by law of flotation, as the mass of water (salted) displaced by egg is greater than its own mass, the egg floats.


Why is it that the egg will float if there is salt added in the water?

This is because Salt adds density to the water. In other words, by adding and dissolving salt in the water, you make the water heavier than the egg.


How do you make an egg sink?

An egg will sink in water but will float in salt water. An egg will sink faster in hot water than it will in cold water.

Do you have to use hot water and salt to make an egg float?

no you do not. But you can. A drop of vinegar helps!


How does salt in water affect the boiancy of an egg?

as the salt dissolves in the water the water becomes more dense, so the egg will be more buoyant. (at least you tried to spell it correctly)


What are the Methods of Procedure for an egg floats in salt water?

One method of determining if an egg floats in salt water is by dissolving salt in a container of water until the egg floats. Another method involves gradually adding salt to a container of water while placing the egg in to see if it floats. Both methods rely on the principle that the density of the water increases as salt is added, causing the egg to float when the water becomes dense enough.


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.
