Why can we float easier in the sea than in a freshwater lake?

The density of salt water is higher than fresh water.


A man first swims in seawater then in river water.Compare the weight of seawater and the riverwater displaced by him?

We know that the density of the sea water is more than the density of the river water. So, the weight of displaced sea water is more than the weight of displaced river water. This weight gives the upward Buoyant force to the swimmer. Thus, the apparent weight of the swimmer is less in the sea water. Hence he finds it easier to swim in the sea water.


Does salt water affect floating or sinking?

Salt increases the density of water, thus makes it easier to float.I've always had troubles floating while swimming in fresh water, but the difference when swimming in the sea is quite noticeable.There are many notes of people doing experiments with floating eggs with salt water versus fresh water.


What else besides an egg float in salt water and sinks in fresh water?

It depends entirely on the amount of salt in the water. Pure water has a density of 1 kg/L. Any item that is less dense than 1 kgL, will float. Items with a greater density will sink. As you increase the salinity of water, the density of the salt adds to the water's density. The Dead Sea, for example, has a high saline level (31%) and it's density is 1.24kg/L. An average sized person can easily float in these waters.


Why seawater has greater density then that of freshwater?

because it has a higher concentration of ions and minerals!!! ions and minerals play a vital role to make sea water more dense. secondly, the molecular mass: water: h(2) + o(16) = 18g/mol NaCl = n(23) + cl(35.5) = 58.5g/mol NaCl has a higher moleculer mass so there is higher density than water seen!

What two factors affect ocean salinity?

Freezing point (more salt the lower the freezing point). Density (more salt, the heavier the water).


In general he density of sea water increases as?

depth and salinity increases density of sea water increases


The density of sea water increases as?

the density of sea water increases as salinity increases and temperature decreases


Why sea water and freshwater do not have same density?

Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water


List three factors that affect salinity in the ocean and three factors that affect ocean temperatures. Explain how each factor affects salinity or temperatures?

Three factors are evaporation and freezing of sea water.


Why do ship float better at sea than in fresh water?

Sea water has salt, and therefore a higher density.

no, but it does effect the density
