It's easier to float in salty water because the water is not dense compared to fresh water. No its not! The other way around! The salt water is MORE dense than that of fresh water, so you float easier: there are more particles in that given space. :)

∙ 15y agoThe dead sea has so much salt that it is denser than the human body, causing humans to float on it.

Why does an egg float in water and not it salty water?
A fresh egg don't float in pure water; in a salty water the floating depends on the concentration of the salt in solution. The salty water is more dense.
Why do you float in water with tons of salt?
I think substances can float in very salty water, because salty water (example the dead sea)is much more denser than other any other non-salty water, so things will float much more easier.
Why do eggs float on salty water but not on ordinary water?
Salt water is more dense than fresh(tap) water. This allows the egg to float. It is also easier to stay afloat in the ocean than in a fresh water lake. Same concept. how much water do i use?
Why it is so easy to swim in sea water than swimming pool?
Sea water contains lots of dissolved salts. Thus the density of the salty sea water is more than that of water in swimming pools, and the salty water lifts you more than fresh water, which make swimming easier.
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Is it easier to float or sink in salty water?
float
Does adding certain substances to water make boats float better?
Yes, if it makes the water denser, the boat will float easier. For example, it is easier to float in salty water.
Why is it easier to swim in salty water than normal water?
Because salt water is denser....and rises to the upper so it is easy to float
Why does an egg float in water and not it salty water?
A fresh egg don't float in pure water; in a salty water the floating depends on the concentration of the salt in solution. The salty water is more dense.
Why is it easier to swim in salty water than in pure water?
Salt water is denser that fresh water, so a swimmer (and ships) float higher in saltwater.
Why do you float in water with tons of salt?

Is it easier to sink or float in salt water?
it is easier to float, salt water has a higher density. The more salt, the easier it is to float.
What formula makes an egg float?
You can float an egg in very salty water.
Is it easier to float in salt water or fresh water?
It is definitely easier yo float in salt water.
In which container did the egg float saly water or fresh water?
salty

How does salty water help you float?
The density of ocean (sea) water is approximatley 1.025; the density of the human body is approximately 1.00; less dense objects float on top of or near the surface of denser liquids. The saltier the water or the more body fat you have (body mass index), the better you float. Cheers Malcolm
