Because salinated water has more atoms per mole of the compound, it makes this solution denser than pure water. The heavier a solution is the more force that can be applied to it without breaking its surface. Think of trying to float in air, or to float in water. You are able to float in water because the substance is much denser than air. You will have a much easier time floating in the Dead Sea (the most salty body of water in the world) than floating in a fresh water body of water, which has much less salt in it.

How does salt make things float?

It makes the water more dense.


Why does salt water make things float?

salt makes the water denser, so things that are now less dense than the salt water will float


Is salt the reason that things float?

not exactly. things that are less dense than water float. salt makes water more dense and therefore more things can float in it. ============================= (Notice that your rubber duckie floats in the bathtub, even though t here's no salt in your bath.)


Why is it that you float on water?

Because water is more dense then our bodies so when things are more dense they sink to the bottom and when they are less dense they float to the top


Icecubes float in water because they are less?

Dense


Do less dense things float in water?

Yes, less dense objects float in water because they are lighter than the water they displace.


Why does salt in water make objects float?

Things float in water if they are less dense than the water they are floating in. Putting salt in the water makes it more dense, so things that are a little more dense than ordinary water float in salt water.


What makes salt float?

It's less dense than water.


Why is easier for things to float in seawater?

I would be thinking the salt is the reason. The salt makes the water more dense, so things that were more dense as compared to the water before become less dense as compared to seawater. So yeah, that's why things are more buoyant in seawater.


Why does tin foil float?

because tin foil is less dense then water so it makes it float!!!!


How do things float?

things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.


What is a liquid that makes things float?

It is quite common for various things to float in water. But any liquid can cause things to float.
