Salt water is denser than pure water.
An egg will sink in water but will float in salt water. An egg will sink faster in hot water than it will in cold water.
An egg will float in salt water because the salt makes it denser and allows the egg to stay near the surface. But in regular water it will sink straight to the bottom.
Salt water. Salt water is very hypotonic and will force the egg to float. Regular water is hypertonic and force water in. Causing the egg to sink like the Titanic.
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.
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.
Eggs will float better in saltwater because the salt makes the water denser, causing the egg to float more easily. In freshwater, the egg may sink or not float as readily due to the lower density of the water.
A Rock would obviously sink in water and a egg would float in salt water Believe it or not bowling balls that are denser than water float!
If the egg is good and not spoiled it will sink down. If the egg is spoiled it will float up.
It sinks because the water is more dense than the egg in the water.
Yes, and egg will float in salt water.
An egg will sink in fresh water. Salt water is denser than fresh water, which allows the egg to float.
An egg floats in a salt solution because the density of the salt solution is higher than that of the egg, causing the egg to float. In fresh water, the density is lower than the egg, causing it to sink.
