I'm not completely sure but i think it has something to do with makeing the water denser (heavier) than the egg. This happens in the dead sea as well, everyone can swim over there =)

Why do eggs float to the top in salt water?

This had to do with density. When you put the egg into the water, it sinks as it is more dense than the water. However, if you add salt in the water, it becomes salt water and makes the water more dense than the egg so the egg can float. It is the same reason why people float in the dead sea. The dead sea is very salty and is more dense than humans. That's why we float so well in the dead sea.

How does an salt make an egg float?

The separate layers formed because salt water is denser than pure water. Fresh water has a density of about 1.0 gram per ml of volume. Matter with higher density will sink in water; matter with lower density will float on top.The density of an egg is between that of water and salt water, so in your beaker, the egg balanced between the two layers.

Do salt and sugar and flour make a egg float?

No, salt, sugar, and flour alone will not make an egg float. The density of an egg is higher than that of salt, sugar, and flour, so the egg will sink in these substances. However, if you were to dissolve a large amount of salt or sugar in water to create a solution with a higher density than the egg, then the egg could float in that solution.

Why does an egg need salt water to float?

An egg is almost entirely made of water. The other components (shell, proteins etc.) add the the weight of the water and cause the egg to sink. Adding salt to the water in the container that you wish to float the egg into, makes it more dense than the water in the egg and so the egg floats.


Which water requires the greatest amount of salt to float an egg?

There aren't different types of water (unless you count water with different levels of impurities, but in most cases the impurities will have the same effect as the salt, so it is just the purer water that needs more 'added' salt)


Would a hardboiled egg float best in regular water salt water or sugar water?

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. A hardboiled egg will float best in salt water because salt makes the water more dense, allowing the egg to float higher. So, if you're ever in a situation where you need your hardboiled egg to float like a majestic little buoy, go for the salt water. Just don't forget your seasoning!
