Why do boats float better in salt water rather than fresh water?
flotation is due to the fact the boat is less dense than the water, salty water is more dense than normal water. Consequently things can be heavier or more dense and still be less dense than water aka they float.
Can an egg float better with salt?
An egg will sink in fresh water. Salt water is denser than fresh water, which allows the egg to float.
What is the difference in salinity between salt water and fresh water environment?
To be blunt, salt water has a lot more salinity than fresh water.
Why do ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water in respect to freeboard?
It is because the fresh water has less density compared to that of salt water.
What is difference between density of salty water and normal water?
Salt water is a lighter density than fresh. The difference depends on the salinity of the water. This differs all over the world in different parts of the oceans and in salt water lakes.
Is salty water more dense that salty water?
Salt water is more dense than fresh water. A ship would float higher at sea, and lower on a fresh water inland lake.
Is salty water more sense than cold water or more dense than less salty water?
Salt water is denser than fresh water. A ship will float higher on the oceans, and float lower on a fresh water inland lake.
Why does a perspex block sink in fresh water but floats in salty water?
A perspex block sinks in fresh water because it is denser than the water. In salty water, the added salt increases the water's density, causing the perspex block to float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where an object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is in.
Do baltic sea has the highest salinity?
The Baltic Sea is known as Brackish, that is a little more salty than fresh water, but not as salty as sea water
Was there ever more fresh water than salt water?
no there was not. At the moment approximately 97% of water on Earth is salty, leaving only 3% fresh
Why does salty water evaporates faster than fresh water?
Fresh water is evaporated faster.
Why do most fishes prefer fresh water than salty water?
it denpents were the fish is from the ocean or fresh water lakes
Why do eggs float on salty water but not on ordinary water?
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.
Is a lake salty or freshwater?
Most lakes are fresh water, though some lakes are saline. The Great Salt Lake in Utah is saltier than the ocean, as is Salton Sea in southern California and the Dead Sea in the middle east (the Dead Sea is nearly ten times more salty than the ocean).
Why is it easier to float in salty water tahn in flesh water?
It is easier to float in salty water than in fresh water because the higher salt concentration in the water increases its density, making objects more buoyant. This buoyancy helps you float on the surface of the water more effortlessly compared to in less dense fresh water.
Which type of water is more dense cold salty water or warm less salty water?
Water is more dense the colder it becomes. It is also more dense the saltier it becomes.
What is the salt content of the Baltic sea?
The Baltic Sea is known as Brackish, that is, a little more salty than fresh water, but not as salty as sea water
