Why don't eggs float in sugar water?

when you will put eggs in water they will form a homogeneous mixture hence cannot float.


Why do orange seeds float on sugar water but sink in ordinary water?

Orange seeds float in sugar water because the sugar increases the water's density, allowing the seeds to float. In ordinary water, the seeds sink due to their own density being greater than that of the water.

Do sugar float or sink?

Sugar sinks in water because it is denser than water. Sugar crystals are heavier than water molecules, causing them to sink to the bottom rather than float on the surface.


Can an egg float in sugar water?

Yes, an egg can float in concentrated sugar water because the density of the solution is higher than that of the egg. When the sugar concentration is high enough, it can cause the egg to float due to the difference in density.


Will Sucrose float in water?

Yes, As you dissolve the sugar into the water the volume of the water will stay the same (once the sugar has gone into solution) but the density of the water/sugar solution will have increased (there is more mass in the same volume). Thus, because when you float something it displaces a volume of liquid equal to its mass/weight, in a sugar solution the floating body will float higher because its mass/weight will be compensated for by a smaller volume of liquid.


How much sugar does it take to make a egg float?

An egg will float in water with a sugar concentration of around 40% by weight. This means you would need to dissolve approximately 2.5 cups of sugar in 1 cup of water to make an egg float.


Why do calamansi seeds float on sugar water but sink in ordinary water?

Calamansi seeds have a lower density than sugar water, causing them to float. In ordinary water, the density of the seeds is greater than that of the water, causing them to sink.


Why does an egg in sugar water float?

The egg is heaver per volume than the water.


Do salt and sugar and flour make a egg float?

No, salt, sugar, and flour alone will not make an egg float. The density of an egg is higher than that of salt, sugar, and flour, so the egg will sink in these substances. However, if you were to dissolve a large amount of salt or sugar in water to create a solution with a higher density than the egg, then the egg could float in that solution.


Will egg float in water with sugar added?

Yes, because the sugar dissolves in the water, making a solution which is denser than the egg.
