The separate layers formed because salt water is denser than pure water. Fresh water has a density of about 1.0 gram per ml of volume. Matter with higher density will sink in water; matter with lower density will float on top.The density of an egg is between that of water and salt water, so in your beaker, the egg balanced between the two layers.
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.
About 6 tablespoons per liquid cup - Check out the link belowwhy does salt make an egg float? how does it make it float
To make an egg float in vinegar, you simply have to make the vinegar denser than the egg. Its like when you mix oil and water together, if you leave it for a while, you notice that they separate, one on top of another. The substance at the bottom is more dense than the substance at the top. To recreate this with vinegar and an egg, add salt to make the vinegar denser, and then put the egg in. If the egg still sinks, add more salt. Repeat until you get your desired result.
When you soak an egg in salt water, the egg will float because the salt water is denser than the egg, decreasing its overall density. This is due to the process of osmosis, where water moves from an area of low salt concentration (inside the egg) to an area of high salt concentration (the salt water), causing the egg to float.
yes, salt will make a egg float in water not on a table though
A boiled egg will float in salt water.
it has density when dissolved in water making an egg float.
Salt water have a higher density.So it can produce enough upthrust to make the egg float.
yes
Yes , because salt adds density to the water making it more dense than the egg - which makes the egg float ! (:
you put it in a cup of water or something that has water in it

Yes, and egg will float in salt water.
If there is enough salt, then yes.
Put salt in the water
no you do not. But you can. A drop of vinegar helps!
