Why does an egg sink in water but float in salty water?
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.
Why does sand oil and maple surup sink in water?
more dense substances sink, less dense substances float. oil will not sink in water, it will float, it is less dense.
Is cold water more or less dense than warm water?
cold ocean waer has more dense than warm water.
Is soap less dense then water?
Yes, soap is generally less dense than water. This is why soap floats on the surface of water. The density of soap is usually lower because it is made up of molecules that are larger and less tightly packed than water molecules.
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.
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
When cool dense water sinks, it becomes more dense because the cooler temperature causes the water molecules to contract and become more tightly packed together. This increased density allows the water to sink below warmer, less dense water layers.
What is more dense then water?
Anything that sinks in water is more dense than water.
Where cool dense water sinks it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Where cool dense water sinks its becomes more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Why does a a stone sink if you drop it through water?
A stone sinks in water because it is more dense than water.
Why does sugar sink in water?
Sugar sinks in water because it heavier and more dense than water. Artificial sweeteners like Aspartame are not as dense and will float.
Does sand sink in water because water it is more dense then sand?
Essentially, sand is more dense and has more mass, thus it sinks. durr. hi
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
A marble was drooped into a glass of waterhow do you know the marble is more dense than water?
If the marble sinks in water, it is more dense than water. Objects that are denser than water will sink, while objects with lower density will float.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense then water?
Put it in water. If it floats, it's less dense. If it sinks, it's more dense.
Why won't your candle float?
If it sinks in water, then it is more dense than water.
