The separate layers formed because salt water is denser than pure water. Fresh water has a density of about 1.0 gram per ml of volume. Matter with higher density will sink in water; matter with lower density will float on top.The density of an egg is between that of water and salt water, so in your beaker, the egg balanced between the two layers.
Any object that sinks in a liquid has to be more dense than the liquid. An egg has slightly higher density than fresh water, so it will sink. When you dissolve salt in the water the density of the resulting saline solution increases past that of the egg, so the egg begins to float.
the salinity or how much salt is it the water because the salt is more dense then the egg so the egg then floats.
another thing it might be is that the egg has an air pocket which makes it float in water like a water balloon
i hope i have answered your question
Mixing the water with salt can cause it to become more dense than the egg, so the egg will float.
Salt makes an egg float when it's in water because the salt dissolves so it makes the water thicker which allows the egg to float.
Salt water has a greater density than pure water.
no, because the egg is heavy and not light witch is causing it not to float and it will be harder to float and if an egg is boil anything can cause an egg to float
The density of the average egg will be slightly greater than water, so it will sink. To make the egg float, make the water more dense by adding salt. For one cup of water, adding three tablespoons of salt should be about enough to make the egg float.
well an egg can float in salt water because of the mass and density of it makes it easier to float
The sea has to have at least 4 tablespoons of salt in order for an egg to float.
About 6 tablespoons per liquid cup - Check out the link belowwhy does salt make an egg float? how does it make it float
yes, salt will make a egg float in water not on a table though
it has density when dissolved in water making an egg float.
A boiled egg will float in salt water.
Salt water have a higher density.So it can produce enough upthrust to make the egg float.
yes
Yes , because salt adds density to the water making it more dense than the egg - which makes the egg float ! (:
Yes, and egg will float in salt water.
If there is enough salt, then yes.
no, because the egg is heavy and not light witch is causing it not to float and it will be harder to float and if an egg is boil anything can cause an egg to float
Put salt in the water
that the water with salt well make the egg float
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.
