Will a hydrometer float higher in fresh or salt water?
Salt Water
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.
Why is it easier to float in the ocean than fresh water?
Because salt water has a higher specific density than fresh water.
Will a ball float higher in salt or fresh water?
Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense. -- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.
Why does salt water make stuff float than fresh water?
Salt water has a greater density than fresh water. So the same object will foat higher in salt water than in fresh, and some things will foat in salt water that are too dense to float in fresh water.
Why is it easier to swim in seawater then it is to swim in fresh water?
probally fresh because no salt in mouth or eyes addition: it is easier to float/swim in seawater since seawater is denser than fresh water.
Will a hydrometer float higher in fresh or salt water?
Salt Water
Why sea water has a higher hydrometer reading than that of freshwater?
Seawater dissolves more than fresh water because of the salinity in the water.
Does an egg float higher in salt water or fresh water?
salt water.
When the increase in the salinity of seawater result in an increase or decrease in density?
If you compare the density of sea water, and then compared the extremely salty Dead Sea, you will find that the more salt in the water, the higher is the density. Which is why you can float on the Dead Sea while reading a newspaper (which I once saw demonstrated in a documentary). Also, a ship will float lower on a fresh water lake, and float higher on salt water.
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.
Do boats float differently on fresh water vs salt water?
Yes, salt water is denser than fresh water so boats float higher in salt water.
Why does seawater have a greater buoyant force than fresh water?
Seawater has a greater buoyant force than fresh water because seawater has a higher density than fresh water therefore the buoyancy is higher. *Improved* This happens because when water mixes with the salt in sea water, the density changes to the average density which is around 1.55 g/mL (Average density is the density of different materials put to together )
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
Would a barrel of whiskey float?
The specific gravity of whiskey is less than water (.924-.947), so the volume of whiskey itself would float in water. Given that the barrel is made of wood (and should float by itself), a sealed barrel full of whiskey should float.
Why is it easier to float in the ocean than fresh water?
Because salt water has a higher specific density than fresh water.
Do rubber ducks float higher on salt water fresh water or chlorinated water?
salt water
