Can you put salt in water to make an object float?
Yes, adding salt to water increases its density, which can make some objects that would normally sink, like eggs, float. By altering the density of the water, the buoyant force exerted on the object can be increased to make it float.
Do rotten eggs float in salt water?
No, rotten eggs do not float in salt water. An egg will float in water when it is old and starting to spoil due to the air pocket inside increasing in size, not necessarily because it is rotten.

Why does a carrot float in salt water but sink in fresh water?

Will a ball float higher in salt or fresh water?
Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense. -- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.
