Fresh water at a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius has a density of 999.70 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.9997 grams per cubic centimeter. Sea water with a salinity of 3.5 percent at a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius has a density of 1026.98 kilograms per cubic meter or 1.02698 grams per cubic centimeter.

∙ 11y agoThe density of water is less than the density of salt water. When you swim in the sea you float higher in the water than you do in a swimming pool.

If a bag of 3 percent salt water is placed into a bucket of 0.3 percent salt water then the solution in the bucket is what compared to the solution in the bag?
The salt solution in the bucket is 10% of the salt solution in the bag. The bagged solution has a higher density than the bucket solution; therefore, the bagged solution will most likely fall to the bottom of the bucket as the bucket water is displaced above it -- assuming there is no air in the bag, the density of the bag material is negligible, and the salt is fully dissolved in the water. Details: = The solution in the bucket is 0.3% while the solution is the bag is 3%. Thus, the solution in the bucket has less concentration of salt than the solution in the bag. Hence, the solution in the bucket is hypotonic to the solution in the bag.
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
What made the egg float in salt water?
that the water with salt well make the egg float
In salt solution salt is called?
Salt dissolved in water is known as a saline solution.
Salt water it is a pure substance or solution?
Salt water is a solution.
What does density tell you about salt water?
The density of a salt water solution compared against the densities of "pure" water and salt provides an approximate value of the ratio of water to salt in the mixture.
Why does adding salt to water increase density?
Any solution has different properties compared with a solvent. The composition is different.
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.

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
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.
Is a salt water solution thinner than a sugar water solution?
yes salt water solution is thinner than a sugar water solution because sugar has greaer density and occupies more space
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.
How does dissolving salt in water change the density of the water?
The density increases as the mass of the solution increases but its volume remains the same.
What is the density of a salt water solution with 2 tablespoons of salt per cup of water?
Approx. 1,04 g/cm3.
Can an egg float on salt water and why?
Yes, a raw egg will float if the salt concentration is high enough. This is possible because adding salt creates a solution with a greater density than water. As more salt is added, the density of the solution increases. At a certain point, the density of the solution becomes greater than the density of the raw egg, allowing the egg to float in the solution.*This experiment is a very good demonstration of the principle of buoyancy.
