What else can I help you with?
Is salt more or less dense than water?
Yes; that is why objects float more easily in salt water. yes, its true, the dead sea is so dense because of the salt that people can just float on top effortlessly The salt that is added dissolves into the water. The mass of the salt then adds to the mass of the water, increasing the density.
Is water with more salt more dense than water with less salt?
Yes, in fact, there is a lake called the Dead Sea, which has a very high salinity level, so high, that people float as if they were on a float or a raft.
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.
Is very salty water more or less dense than less salt water?
Very salty water is more dense than water with less salt because the dissolved salt molecules increase the mass of the water. This higher density causes the salty water to sink below less salty water.
How does an salt make an egg float?
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.
Why does fresh water float on salt water?
Fresh water is less dense than salt water, so it floats on top of the more dense salt water. This is due to differences in their salinity levels, with salt water being more concentrated. The less dense fresh water sits above the denser salt water due to the principle of buoyancy.
Why does salt create buoyancy in water?
The salt makes the water more dense ,so that objects can float on the water.
Why does salt water make things float?
salt makes the water denser, so things that are now less dense than the salt water will float
Is salt water less dense than tap water?
salt water is more dense than tap water
Since salt dissolves in water does this decrease its density?
Salt water will be more dense than the water, but less dense than the salt.
Is warm salt water more dense than cold salt water?
Cold water is more dense.
Why do eggs falt in salt water?
Eggs float in salt water and sink in fresh water because salt water is more dense. Density is a measure of how much 'matter' is in a certain space, adding salt to water adds 'matter' so makes it more dense. The Dead Sea is 33% salt so even people who can't swin can float in it.
How does the density of seawater vary with changes in temperature?
As seawalter gets colder it becomes more dense, so cold sea water is more dense than warmer water.
Does evaporation of salt water density to increase or decrease?
It causes the density to increase because the more salt added to water, the more buoyant or dense it becomes. Salt itself does not evaporate as the water does so as the water evaporates the salt content is effectively increased, therefore making the water more saline or dense.
Do you float in salt water or fresh water which on is more dense?
Salt
Does evaporation of salt water causes density to increase or decrease?
It causes the density to increase because the more salt added to water, the more buoyant or dense it becomes. Salt itself does not evaporate as the water does so as the water evaporates the salt content is effectively increased, therefore making the water more saline or dense.
Why is easier for things to float in seawater?
I would be thinking the salt is the reason. The salt makes the water more dense, so things that were more dense as compared to the water before become less dense as compared to seawater. So yeah, that's why things are more buoyant in seawater.
