An egg is almost entirely made of water. The other components (shell, proteins etc.) add the the weight of the water and cause the egg to sink. Adding salt to the water in the container that you wish to float the egg into, makes it more dense than the water in the egg and so the egg floats.
What else can I help you with?
Will a egg float in salt water?
Yes, and egg will float in salt water.
Why does an egg need salt to float?
the salt makes the water denser
Does an egg float in water mixed with salt?
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.
Can a egg can or can't float in water?
an egg can float in salt water.
Do you have to use hot water and salt to make an egg float?

Will an egg float in salt water or tap water?
Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.
What is in the salt water why the egg float?
Salt water have a higher density.So it can produce enough upthrust to make the egg float.
Why does an egg float on salt water only?
An egg floats in salt water because the density of the salt water is higher than the density of the egg. The higher density of the salt water creates an upward buoyant force on the egg, causing it to float.
Will salt make an egg float?
yes, salt will make a egg float in water not on a table though
Does egg always float in salt water?
An egg will float in salt water depending on the amount of salt found in the water because this increases the density of the solution. The density of salt water should always be higher than the density of the egg in order for it to float.
Does an egg float in salted water?
Yes, an egg will float in salted water because the increased density of the water due to the salt makes it easier for objects with lower density, like an egg, to float.
