No, it will be at the bottom - difference in density.

What percentage of sea water is salt?
The global average is 3% but it does vary. Seawater has a salinity of arround 3.5 percent. In river deltas and depending on the river water mass this percentage may be eliminated for several kilometers like Amazon river. There is a salt lake in Israel Dead Sea which is the saltiest place on Earth that the salt percentage is 30% approximately.

Why does red melted ice cubes stay on top of salt water?
It's not the color that is significant, its the fresh water that the ice cubes were made with. Salt water is heavier than fresh water so the fresh water floats a top the salt water.
Does salt water float over fresh water?
no< fresh water will become mixed with the salt water
Why does fresh water float on top of salt water?
The salt makes the water more dense.
Will oil settle faster in salt water or fresh water?
oil doesn't settle in salt water nor fresh water, it floats to the top
What is the difference between freshwater brackishwater and salt water?
Both fresh water and salt water occur in nature, so both are natural. Note, however, that fish that live in fresh water generally cannot survive in salt water and fish that live in salt water generally cannot survive in fresh water.
Why does salt water float on fresh water if it is denser than fresh water?
Assuming equal temperatures it does not. The fresh water will be on top.
Why does fresh water float on top of saltwater?
because the salt water ie heavier than fresh water
If a fresh stream flows into an estuary will the fresh water always sit on top of the sea water until mixed or can it sit on the bottom if the fresh water is colder Why?
the water would always sit on top because the salt water is thicker
What is the process that makes it possible for people to use seawater for drinking?
yes because even if it is salt water, there is still fresh water at the top of the salt water
Where do duck find water?
well of course they live in fresh water areas. but they are birds so they dont stay in water they hunt and drink from it. ducks do float on top of it but generally fresh water. not salt water. and to be more specific places like lakes, and ponds. no still water becuase of bacteria and parsites.
Why is there ice on top of your salt water pool?
Saltwater freezes too, just at a couple degrees lower than fresh water.
Why does an egg sink in fresh water but float in salt water but stays in the middle when pour water into salt water?
Eggs, water, floating.An egg doesn't float in fresh water but since salt water is more dense than fresh water, it has a better chance of floating in the salt water. The greater buoyant force allows the egg to float in the salt water, if salty enough.More explanationAn egg sinks in fresh water but not in salt water because fresh water is not as dense. In order for something to float, the buoyant force has to be greater than or equal to the weight of the object. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid that is displaced by the object. To figure out the weight of the water displaced you multiply the density of the water by the volume and then multiply that by gravity. The density of the fresh water is less than the density of the salt water, therefore the weight of the water displaced will be greater in the case of the salt water, resulting in a greater buoyant force.The more salt in water the more bouyant an object becomes. The salt makes the water more denser. Check out the dead sea. Most salt content in any lake or sea. The density of the salt water is greater than the density of the egg. Items sink if their own density is greater than the density of whatever they are trying to float in. Items float to the top if their density is less than the density of what they are floating in, and items hang in the middle if the densities are the same. Adding in the salt gives the water a greater density than the water did had before, so the egg doesn't float in freshwater.Did you know?A fresh egg will sink in fresh water but it will float in salty water. A rotten egg will float in fresh water.
