why does an egg float or sink in water
a egg can float in salt water because the water is denser than the egg
Yes, and egg will float in salt water.
How much salt water is present is not important, the problem is what is the concentration of salt in the water. The saltier it is, the denser the salt water becomes. If the salt water is denser in comparison to the density of the egg (which will more or less vary with each egg), then the egg will float; if not, then the egg will sink.
The egg will be more bouyant in salt water.
When you soak an egg in salt water it should shrivel or become smaller. This is because the salt water pulls out the existing water from the egg.
Because the salt water is more dense than the egg.
An egg does float in water that is mixed with salt, because salt provides more density in the water, and ,therefore, allows an egg to float.
The salt water egg experiment is to demonstrate that salt water is denser so the egg floats. When the egg is placed in pure water, the egg sinks because pure water is less dense than salt water.

Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
