Salt water have a higher density.So it can produce enough upthrust to make the egg float.

Does Egg Float In Salt Water Or Fresh Water?
Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
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.
If pure water has a density of one gram per milliliter why does an egg sink in it but float in salt water?
That indicates that the average density of an egg is greater than the density of pure water but less than that of salt water. Salt water has more density the regular/pure water and the more salt you add the more it floats.
How much salt floats an egg?
its H2OAnswerSalt has nothing to do with it. A fresh egg will sink in water. Stale eggs will have propagated gases within them, causing them to float in water.This is a classic test for egg freshness.What is written above may be part true, but the salt has a lot to do with it because without it with the same egg withing the same 5 minutes with salt it floats and without it, it dose not.
Would an egg float in fresh water?

Does an egg float in water mixed with salt?

Why does an egg float on salt water only?
Because salt water is more dense than the egg therefore making the egg float
Will an egg float in salt water or tap water?
Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.
Does egg always float in salt water?
An egg will float in salt water depending on the amount of salt found in the water because this increases the density of the solution. The density of salt water should always be higher than the density of the egg in order for it to float.
Does Egg Float In Salt Water Or Fresh Water?
Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
