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.

Why does a raw egg get lighter when put in saltwater?

A raw egg gets lighter when placed in saltwater due to the process of osmosis. The saltwater has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the liquid inside the egg, causing water to move out of the egg through the semi-permeable shell. This loss of water from the egg makes it less dense and gives the appearance of being lighter in the denser saltwater. Consequently, the egg may also float in saltwater, as its buoyancy increases.

What is the purpose saltwater making an egg float?

Saltwater is denser than freshwater, so when you add salt to water, the water becomes more dense. When you place an egg in saltwater, it floats because the density of the saltwater is higher than the density of the egg, causing it to float instead of sink.

What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?

When you put a raw egg in vinegar, the acid in the vinegar dissolves the eggshell. This leaves you with just the egg membrane. When you then place the egg in saltwater, osmosis occurs where water moves from the egg to the saltwater or vice versa depending on the concentration gradient, causing the egg to shrink or swell.
