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 do you learn from adding salt to water with an egg?

-The egg sunk in the water, but floated on the saltwater.You learned that the egg is denser than water (thus it sinks), but the egg is less dense than saltwater (therefore it floats).www.deltasee.org/CTC/Activity%2017%20Floating%20Eggs.pdf

What will float in saltwater but not float in tap water?

Objects that contain a higher density that water will sink, but if the same object has a lower density that saltwater, then it will float in salt water. And this also depends on the concentration of sodium ions present in the salt water. As the concentration of the sodium ions increase, the density of the salt water increases.

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.


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.
