Can you put salt in water to make an object float?

If the object does not quite float in water, adding salt to the water might make the object float, yes.


How egg float in salt water funfacts?

well an egg can float in salt water because of the mass and density of it makes it easier to float


How does salt make a quarter float?

it makes bubbles in water which has enough energy to make it float


How salty does the water have to be for an egg to float?

The sea has to have at least 4 tablespoons of salt in order for an egg to float.


Why does an egg sink in fresh water but float in salt water but stays in the middle when pour water into salt water?

Eggs, water, floating.An egg doesn't float in fresh water but since salt water is more dense than fresh water, it has a better chance of floating in the salt water. The greater buoyant force allows the egg to float in the salt water, if salty enough.More explanationAn egg sinks in fresh water but not in salt water because fresh water is not as dense. In order for something to float, the buoyant force has to be greater than or equal to the weight of the object. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid that is displaced by the object. To figure out the weight of the water displaced you multiply the density of the water by the volume and then multiply that by gravity. The density of the fresh water is less than the density of the salt water, therefore the weight of the water displaced will be greater in the case of the salt water, resulting in a greater buoyant force.The more salt in water the more bouyant an object becomes. The salt makes the water more denser. Check out the dead sea. Most salt content in any lake or sea. The density of the salt water is greater than the density of the egg. Items sink if their own density is greater than the density of whatever they are trying to float in. Items float to the top if their density is less than the density of what they are floating in, and items hang in the middle if the densities are the same. Adding in the salt gives the water a greater density than the water did had before, so the egg doesn't float in freshwater.Did you know?A fresh egg will sink in fresh water but it will float in salty water. A rotten egg will float in fresh water.

Will a egg float in salt water?

Yes, and egg will float in 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.


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.

Why does salt float?

Salt is soluble in water, doesn't float.


How do objects float higher in salt water?

Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.


Will an egg float in salt water or tap water?

Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.


Why does salt float in water?

Yes . Egg float in salt water because salt water is much densier than pure water
