You can put an egg and put a baggie of salt water in a container full of Mercury at room temperature and pressure. They'll float However, if you are asking how an egg can float in salt water, that's an ENTIRELY different question. Something floats if and only if it pushes more than it's weight in water (or what ever you're trying to float something in... including air) out of the way while submerged in it. So if the egg won't float in regular water, why not? Because it does not push it's own weight in water out of the way (ie. it is MORE dense than the water). So, what can we do..... make the egg less dense, or MAKE THE WATER HEAVIER. Adding salt to the water makes it more dense (heavier per unit volume). So now the egg has to push a smaller volume of the salt water out of the way before it pushes it's own weight in water out of the way. The egg will float to a level where the same weight of water is displaced by the egg. Then when gravity tries to push the egg under more, gravity will also push the water down, which will in turn push the egg back up until the amount of water displaced weighs less than the egg. It'll kind of bob there (even microscopically) until you pull it out.

What happens to an egg when placed in salt water?
The egg will decrease in size (water will exit) if the shell is removed by some means before the egg is placed in the solution. If the shell has not been removed, however, not much will happen as the shell is basically impermeable.
Osmosis and raw egg and salt?
When a raw egg is placed in a saltwater solution, osmosis occurs. The salt concentration outside the egg is higher than inside the egg, so water moves out of the egg to try to balance the concentration. This causes the egg to shrink and become dehydrated.
What would happen after 5 minutes when a deshelled raw egg is put in water?
After 5 minutes, a deshelled raw egg in water will absorb water through osmosis, causing the egg to swell and expand. This occurs because the egg's membrane is semipermeable, allowing water to pass through. The egg will increase in size as it continues to absorb water.
What happens to a raw egg when left in mixture of water and vinegar?
When a raw egg is left in a mixture of water and vinegar, the vinegar dissolves the eggshell which is made of calcium carbonate. This leaves the egg membrane intact, causing it to become rubbery and transparent.
Is a raw egg homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
A raw egg is considered a heterogeneous mixture. It is composed of different components such as the egg white, egg yolk, and membrane. Each component retains its own properties and can be visibly distinguished within the mixture, making it heterogeneous.
Will a raw egg float better in salt water or fresh water?
salt water
Can a raw salt water float in salt water?
No, a raw egg can not float in salt water, but if you hard boil it will because it is denser and therefor becomes more buoyant.
Can a boiled egg float better in salt water or fresh water?
Because the density of the egg is lower than the density of the saltwater Because the density of the egg is lower than the density of the saltwater
A raw egg sinks when places in a beaker of tap water If enough salt is dessolved in the water the egg will ultimately float?
Yes.
How can salt float a raw egg?
because nothing is in the egg yolk
Can an egg float on salt water and why?
Yes, a raw egg will float if the salt concentration is high enough. This is possible because adding salt creates a solution with a greater density than water. As more salt is added, the density of the solution increases. At a certain point, the density of the solution becomes greater than the density of the raw egg, allowing the egg to float in the solution.*This experiment is a very good demonstration of the principle of buoyancy.
Why does a raw egg float in water?
A raw egg floats in water because its density is lower than that of water. This means that the egg is lighter than the water it displaces, causing it to float.
Why doesn't the raw egg float in salt water?
basicllay the salty water has more pressure energy which forms a pressure intense in the water so the raw eggs will not flow! THXZ
Is a raw egg more dense than a boiled egg?
The density of an egg that I boiled was 1.02 * density of tap water. The density of a raw egg was 1.06 * the density of tap water. The mass of the egg did not change so the volume increased slightly. With a raw egg and a boiled egg covering in water, if you add salt and mix slowly you find that the boiled egg will float first and if you continue to add salt you get both to float. Interestingly, recipes for making a brine solution for food preparation frequently tell you to put a raw egg in water and add enough salt in solution to make the egg float. This assures enough salt for a good brine solution.
What can an egg float better in?
In a denser liquid.A raw egg will sink in fresh water, but float in salt water. It also depends on how fresh the egg is.Set an egg in cold water-If the egg stay at the bottom - it is fresh.If the egg is at an angle on the bottom - it is still fresh and good to eat.If the egg stands on its pointed end at the bottom - it is still safe to eat but best used for baking or boiled eggs.If the egg floats - it is best discarded.
What materials do you need to make an egg float in salt water?
An egg with an intact shell, warm water, a lot of table salt (NaCl), a suitable container to hold the above. Pour the (warm) water to the container, stir while adding salt to the water, keep adding salt until no more will dissolve (This is a saturated solution), allow to cool & gently place egg into the salt water.
What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?
When you put a raw egg in vinegar, the acid in the vinegar dissolves the eggshell. This leaves you with just the egg membrane. When you then place the egg in saltwater, osmosis occurs where water moves from the egg to the saltwater or vice versa depending on the concentration gradient, causing the egg to shrink or swell.
