Because salt is more heavy, I mean try mixing oil syrup and water, they won't mix because oil will go to the top which means that it is the lightist, then water would go in the middle because it is th second lightist, then syrup would go at the bottom because it is the heaviest. You could also try putting eggs in regular water and it won't float, but if you put salt in the water and mix it, the egg will maybe float if it doesn't then add more salt.

Does objects that float in water float in salt water?
Yes. Salt water has a slightly higher density then fresh water which means its a little easier for things to float in salt water. So if it floats in fresh water it will certainly float in salt water.
How does the salinity of the water affect an objects ability to float?
Salt water has salt (!) in it, ego it is denser and takes more weight to displace it; the reason things float in whatever. The denser the liquid, the higher things float
Do objects float more in salt water or fresh water?
salt water
Is it easier to sink or float in salt water?
it is easier to float, salt water has a higher density. The more salt, the easier it is to float.
Do objects float more easily in salt water or fresh water?
Adding Salt to the water increases the density of the water, and therefore makes it weight more per capita. This in turn causes the salty water to push down with more force then water with no salt, causes things that may not float, to float, and things that already float in normal water, to float higher in salty water.
How do objects float higher in salt water?
Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.
Do objects float the same in salt water and fresh water?
objects float better because chemicals help make the objects float higher. the more salt the higher the things go
Does objects that float in water float in salt water?
Yes. Salt water has a slightly higher density then fresh water which means its a little easier for things to float in salt water. So if it floats in fresh water it will certainly float in salt water.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
How would the high salinity of great salt lake effect the way objects float in it?
Give a higher density to the water due to the salt content which causes object to float higher.

Do objects float in pure or salt water better?
Salt
Is it easier to sink or float in salt water?
it is easier to float, salt water has a higher density. The more salt, the easier it is to float.
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.

Will a hydrometer float higher in fresh or salt water?
