What else can I help you with?
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.
What has more density gingerale or water with one teaspoon of salt in it?
Density is a physical property of matter, as each element and compound has a unique density associated with it. Density defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative "heaviness" of objects with a constant volume. The Ginger Ale is more dense because it has more solutes (like sugar and flavoring) than water (even if the water contains salt).
Which type of water is denser fresh water or salt water?
Water that contains dissolved salts is more dense than pure water; consequently, seawater is denser or has more mass per unit volume than freshwater. Temperature, however, is one of the most important factors controlling density in the ocean.
Will an egg float better in sugar water salt water or regular water?
Because both salt and sugar are polar (though salt more so) neither will float, but rather both will dissolve in the water. But, assuming that both were not soluble in water, again, neither would float because both are more dense than water is.
Which one has the lowest density mineral water air water or salt water?
Salt water has a higher density than both mineral water and air. Mineral water has a lower density than salt water but higher than air. Therefore, air has the lowest density among the three.
Why can the property's of a mixture vary?
A mixture is simply various compound mixed together. Vary the amount of one compound in the mixture and the properties, such as density, can be changed. For example, salt and water can be combined to make a mixture of salt water. If more salt is added the density of the mixture increases. If you add more water, then the density decreases. While pure salt, a compound, will always have the same density because it is governed by forces at the atomic level, not simply the amount of sodium and chlorine that is combined.
What happens to the density of distilled water when you add salt to it?
When you add table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) to water, the salt dissolves into ions, Na+ and Cl-. The volume increases by a small factor, but the mass increases by a bigger factor. There are two reasons. One is simply that the NaCl is much denser than water to begin with, mainly because its ions have more mass than the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in the water molecules. Also, the ions bind nicely with the water molecules, so that the volume of the saltwater isn't as big as the water volume plus the salt volume.
Is salt water more dense then cold water?
Yes, salt water has a greater density than fresh water. The ocean is about 2.5% denser than fresh water. This causes greater buoyancy of objects and a swimmer can notice this easily. Usually, when any solute is added to a solvent, the resultant solution increases in density, but there are exceptions to this rule. In the case of salt water, two things combine to cause the increase in density. First, a cubic centimeter of salt is about twice the mass of a cubic centimeter of water. Second, if you add a cubic centimeter of salt to a liter of water, the volume will increase by only about half a cubic centimeter. (This is because the dissolved sodium (Na+) and Chlorine (Cl-) atoms strongly interact with the polar water molecules causing rearrangement of water molecules near the ions which results in the nearby water atoms occupying a smaller volume.) If one is more precise about density, one needs to specify temperature. Cold salt water has a greater density than warm salt water; similarly for fresh water. Salt affects the temperature of water freezing and the density of water is peculiar near freezing anyway, so one needs to be careful when making general statements about water density and salt and temperature when the system is within a few degrees of freezing.
Why do you float easy in salt water?
Salt water has salt and minerals in the water making it denser. When the water is denser it holds you up. The Dead Sea is so full of minerals and salt that you can just lay there and read. You don't even have to try. Salt water has salt and minerals in the water making it denser. When the water is denser it holds you up. The Dead Sea is so full of minerals and salt that you can just lay there and read. You don't even have to try.
Is salt with water denser than just plain water?
yes the salt with water is denser . The density of salt water is more as compared to plain water. take the example of dead sea also called the Salt Sea, a person does not drown in dead sea due to high salinity. But in normal sea one would be drowned.
What do a teaspoon a fluid ounce and a pint have in common?
These are all types of liquid measurements. Liquid measurements differ from solid measurements in that the density of the liquid is not factored into the total volume, but is factored into the total weight in which that liquid occupies. Ex: One gallon of water has a specific density. However, a gallon of salt water weighs more than the gallon of water because the salt water has a higher density (i.e. more dense) than the gallon of salt water, although they have the same volume (one gallon). In case you are interested, the correlation of weight, density, and volume is given by the formula: Density = weight / volume. More correctly, it should read: Density = mass / volume, but the relationship between mass and weight is: Weight = mass * gravity, where gravity is a constant: 9.8 kg*(m/s2)
What is it easier to float in salt water than fresh water?
Because salt water is denser. If you pour salt water and fresh water [one with food coloring] into a glass, the salt water will sink below the fresh water. You are only a bit denser than salt water.
