Why does an egg float on salt water only?

An egg floats in salt water because the density of the salt water is higher than the density of the egg. The higher density of the salt water creates an upward buoyant force on the egg, causing it to float.


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.


What made the egg float in salt water?

that the water with salt well make the egg float


Why does an egg floats in salt solution but not in fresh water?

An egg floats in a salt solution because the density of the salt solution is higher than that of the egg, causing the egg to float. In fresh water, the density is lower than the egg, causing it to sink.


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.


An egg sinks in fresh water but floats in a strong solution of salt why?

because following the density principle, the density of the egg compared to the density of the tap water is lesser....(the density principle states that an object or substance with lesser density will float on the surface of the substance or object which has the greater density...).....now,,,with salt,,, salt makes the density of the tap water to increase and increases also the salinity of the water making the egg float because the density of the water with salt is now greater than the density of the egg.... An egg will float when the density of the water is greater than the density of the egg. Adding salt increases the density of a salt water solution. Whether the egg floats or sinks depends on the condition of the egg as well as the amount of salt in the water. If an object is LESS dense than the solution that it is in, then it WILL float. If an object is MORE dense than the solution it is in, then it WILL NOT float. An egg is more dense than regular water; therefore, the egg will sink. But when you add salt to the water, you are making the solution more dense. The salt water's density becomes greater to the point that it is more dense than the egg. Because the egg is now LESS dense than the water, it floats.


Why does an egg float in the glass of salt water?

By adding salt to water, you are increasing the density of the water (essentially how much "stuff" that is in the water). When the density of the salt water becomes greater than the density of the egg, the egg becomes more positively buoyant and will float instead of sink.


Can salt affect the density of an egg?

In aspect of egg floated in salt water is no, egg didn't change it's density just salted water is more dense. In the aspect of salted egg (marinaded in salted water for a week) is yes. Diffused salt content would increase the density of the egg.


Why egg floats in concentrated salt water?

Egg floats only when the density of the salt solution is almost equal to the density of the egg.The density is made equal by making the salt solution saturaed i.e by adding more salt so that the net mass increases and thus increasing the density. Thus by displacing a small amount of water,the egg floats


Explain why an egg sinks in fresh water but floats in a strong solution of salt?

One substance will float on another if its density is less. By adding salt you are increasing the density of the solution. As you add salt, at some point the density of the solution will reach and then exceed the density of the egg


What makes the egg float in the salt water?

Well... The salt in the water makes the egg float because the water becomes more dense than just plain water


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.
