No. Take a raw egg and freeze it and it does not magically transform the weight. It will be denser while it remains frozen, but the weight remains the same.

Does an egg float in water with flour?

In a mixture of oil and water, the two will separate with the oil on top. If the water has enough solute in it (salt, sugar), the egg will float in the water, but not above the oil. An egg is denser than fresh water, but less dense than salt water. It is denser than most oils.


Can a raw egg float in salt water?

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.


Does an egg have more dense then water?

The density of liquids really depends on the suspended matter in it. If you have really dense concentration of salt in water, yes it could be denser than an egg. If you have merely a weak solution of salt, then the egg is denser... it depend on how much salt you have in the water.


An egg sinks in fresh water but floats in a strong solution of salt why?

because following the density principle, the density of the egg compared to the density of the tap water is lesser....(the density principle states that an object or substance with lesser density will float on the surface of the substance or object which has the greater density...).....now,,,with salt,,, salt makes the density of the tap water to increase and increases also the salinity of the water making the egg float because the density of the water with salt is now greater than the density of the egg.... An egg will float when the density of the water is greater than the density of the egg. Adding salt increases the density of a salt water solution. Whether the egg floats or sinks depends on the condition of the egg as well as the amount of salt in the water. If an object is LESS dense than the solution that it is in, then it WILL float. If an object is MORE dense than the solution it is in, then it WILL NOT float. An egg is more dense than regular water; therefore, the egg will sink. But when you add salt to the water, you are making the solution more dense. The salt water's density becomes greater to the point that it is more dense than the egg. Because the egg is now LESS dense than the water, it floats.


Do salt and sugar and flour make a egg 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.

Why does ice cream contain egg yolks?

For texture and richness. ==== Ice cream does not contain egg yolks. Frozen custard contains egg yolks. It is smoother and richer than ice cream. Gelato (Italian ice cream) when made properly is much smoother and richer than either ice cream or frozen custard.

Why is it that the egg will float if there is salt added in the water?

This is because Salt adds density to the water. In other words, by adding and dissolving salt in the water, you make the water heavier than the egg.

Do eggs get heavier?

No, eggs do not get heavier. The weight of an egg is determined by the amount of material it contains, and this does not change after it has been laid.
