Will eggs float in dense liquids?
Yes, eggs can float in dense liquids due to the principle of buoyancy. When a liquid is denser than the egg, it can support the egg's weight, causing it to float. This is why eggs may float in liquids like saltwater or sugar water, which are significantly denser than plain water. Conversely, if the liquid is less dense, the egg will sink.
Do dengue mosquito eggs float on water?
Yes, dengue mosquito (Aedes aegypti) eggs can float on water.
