Yes, because the sugar dissolves in the water, making a solution which is denser than the egg.

Can an egg float in sugar water?

Yes, an egg can float in concentrated sugar water because the density of the solution is higher than that of the egg. When the sugar concentration is high enough, it can cause the egg to float due to the difference in density.


Do eggs float in sugar water?

no .egg will not flot on sugar water .


How much sugar does it take to make a egg float?

An egg will float in water with a sugar concentration of around 40% by weight. This means you would need to dissolve approximately 2.5 cups of sugar in 1 cup of water to make an egg float.


Do salt and sugar and flour make a egg float?

No, salt, sugar, and flour alone will not make an egg float. The density of an egg is higher than that of salt, sugar, and flour, so the egg will sink in these substances. However, if you were to dissolve a large amount of salt or sugar in water to create a solution with a higher density than the egg, then the egg could float in that solution.


Why does an egg in sugar water float?

The egg is heaver per volume than the water.


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.


Will Sucrose float in water?

Yes, As you dissolve the sugar into the water the volume of the water will stay the same (once the sugar has gone into solution) but the density of the water/sugar solution will have increased (there is more mass in the same volume). Thus, because when you float something it displaces a volume of liquid equal to its mass/weight, in a sugar solution the floating body will float higher because its mass/weight will be compensated for by a smaller volume of liquid.


Why doesn't an egg float in sugar water?

Raw egg only floats in water if it is spoiled if it's boiled. Boiled eggs float too, since the egg's mass is now lesser than the water's density. When you boil, it makes the volume greater & the density lesser.


Does an egg float in water with flour?

In a mixture of oil and water, the two will separate with the oil on top. If the water has enough solute in it (salt, sugar), the egg will float in the water, but not above the oil. An egg is denser than fresh water, but less dense than salt water. It is denser than most oils.


Does an egg float in salt water or sugar water?

Why does an egg sink in water but float in salty water?

An egg sinks in regular water because it is more dense than water. When salt is added to water, it increases the water's density, making the egg less dense than the saltwater and causing it to float.


Does sugar makes an egg float?

NO.
