The salinity of water affects its density
By the way this was answered by a fourth grader. I'm really smart
Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').
Yes, because salt water is denser than fresh water, it will typically float on top of fresh water in a layered system called stratification. This is due to the differences in salinity and density between the two types of water.
Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water
Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.
Yes, fresh water of 10 degrees Celsius has a density of 999.728 kilograms per cubic meter. Seawater of 10 degrees Celsius and of 3.5 % salinity has a density of 1026.978 kilograms per cubic meter.
Salt Water Density: 1.027 g/mL Fresh Water Density: 1 g/mL
Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').
Salt water has a higher density than fresh water. Fresh water is only made up of two things, hydrogen and oxygen. Salt water is made up of hydrogen oxygen sodium and chlorine, which gives it a higher density.
Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.
No. Toys float better on salt water than on fresh water because salt water has higher density, and the ratio of density controls buoyancy.
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
the density
Salt water has a slightly higher density, so it will be a little quicker to swim in fresh water.
Currents and thermal gradients aside, salt water is slightly more dense than fresh water, so (at the same depth, for the same temperature) the pressure in salt water will be creater than for fresh water. The difference in pressure will be (pressure in fresh water) x (density of salt water/density of fresh).
Salt water has a greater density than fresh water. So the same object will foat higher in salt water than in fresh, and some things will foat in salt water that are too dense to float in fresh water.
It is easier to float in the ocean than in fresh water because ocean water is denser due to the presence of salt. The salt increases the density of the water, making it easier for objects, like our bodies, to float. In fresh water, there is less salt, so the density is lower, making it harder to float.
It is because the fresh water has less density compared to that of salt water.
