Why salt is added in water for boiling an egg?
Adding salt to the water makes the egg easier to peel.
Should you add salt while boiling an egg?

How many salt is added to an egg to float?
Many
If part of the insides of an egg comes out of the shell while boiling does that mean the egg was bad?
No; having part of an egg come out of the shell while boiling does not mean the egg was bad. It means the heat caused the bubble of air inside the egg to expand, cracking the shell, and allowing a bit of the egg white to escape.
Why did an egg float when the salt is added to the water?
When salt is added to water, the density of water increases. Therefore the density of egg becomes less than the density of water therefore it begins to float in water.
Why add salt to egg wash when glazing products?
to give shine to the products .the salt is added into eggwash
Why is it that the egg will float if there is salt added in the water?
This is because Salt adds density to the water. In other words, by adding and dissolving salt in the water, you make the water heavier than the egg.
If salt water was added to another liquid would an egg still float?
That depends entirely on the liquid. If you are mixing salt into water, then yes. But only if you mix in enough. Fresh water has a density of 1.0, while saltwater has a density of 1.025. The more salt, the higher the density. Since the egg's density stays the same, you should get it to float if you mix in enough salt.
How long should you leave an egg out before boiling?
you can boil an egg any time. Take it out from the refrigerator and cover it with aluminum foil( so that it doesn't crack while boiling) put it for boil
What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?
The vinegar will disintegrate the egg shell and the salt will suck out all the water and shrivel the egg.
Why does an egg float when salt is added?
Adding salt to the water increases its density. On adding certain quantity of salt, the density of water becomes greater than that of egg. So by law of flotation, as the mass of water (salted) displaced by egg is greater than its own mass, the egg floats.
