yes i proved my hypothesis correct. for my experiment to be correct it relied heavily on the density of the salt in the water
The sea has to have at least 4 tablespoons of salt in order for an egg to float.
The most likely conclusion is that by increasing the density of the water (by adding salt, for example), the egg will float. This is because the increased density of the water will exert a greater force on the egg, supporting its weight and causing it to float.
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.
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.
The density of the average egg will be slightly greater than water, so it will sink. To make the egg float, make the water more dense by adding salt. For one cup of water, adding three tablespoons of salt should be about enough to make the egg float.
You can float an egg in very salty water.

A fresh egg don't float in pure water; in a salty water the floating depends on the concentration of the salt in solution. The salty water is more dense.
Science Buddies has a project called: How Salty Does the Sea Have to Be for an Egg to Float?
The egg will float at the salty water
3 tablespoons :)

Eggs float in salty water because the density of the salty water is higher than that of the egg, causing it to float. In ordinary water, the density of the egg is higher than that of the water, so it sinks. The increased density in the salty water creates more buoyant force, allowing the egg to float.
Salt water
In mercury, of course! Bit if you don't like this liquid - in brine, salty water.
