This depends greatly upon the temperature the water. At 4oC the density is approximately 1000 kg/m3 (or 1 g/cm3) - more acurately though the density would be 999.97 kg/m3 (or 0.9997 g/cm3).

Values for the density of pure water (H2O) have been calculated over a wide range of temperatures. At room temperature (22oC) The density of water is 997.77 kg/m3 (or 0.99777 g/cm3)

Which has higher density salt water or fresh?

Salt water has a higher density than fresh water. Fresh water is only made up of two things, hydrogen and oxygen. Salt water is made up of hydrogen oxygen sodium and chlorine, which gives it a higher density.


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.


Is chlorinated pool water more dense than fresh water?

No, chlorinated pool water is not more dense than fresh water. Both chlorinated pool water and fresh water have a density of approximately 1 g/cm3 at standard temperature and pressure.


Does freshwater have a lower density than salt water?

Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.


Compounds that float or sink in fresh water?

At 4°C pure water has a density (weight or mass) of about 1 g/cu.cm, 1 g/ml, 1 kg/litre, 1000 kg/cu.m, 1 tonne/cu.m or 62.4 lb/cu.ft Everthing else that is above 62.4 lb/cu.ft will sink, anything below will float.

Why is the density of sea water greater than fresh water?

Sea water has a higher density than fresh water due to the dissolved salts and minerals present in it. These dissolved substances increase the mass of the water without significantly changing its volume, resulting in a higher density compared to fresh water.


Which is lighter fresh or salt water?

Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').

Does Egg Float In Salt Water Or Fresh Water?

Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.


How do you know if an object will float or sink in fresh water?

It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than fresh water, it will sink. If it is less dense than the fresh water, it will float.


Why sea water and freshwater do not have same density?

Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water


Does salt water have a lower density than water?

Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.


How would you tell tap water and seawater apart?

The density of the fresh water is less than the density of the salt water.


Does toys float better on fresh water or on salt water?

No. Toys float better on salt water than on fresh water because salt water has higher density, and the ratio of density controls buoyancy.


Why the fresh egg sink in water?

Higher density.
