What else can I help you with?
Which is lighter fresh or salt water?
Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').
Does salt water float over fresh water?
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.
Why sea water and freshwater do not have same density?
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
When the increase in the salinity of seawater result in an increase or decrease in density?
If you compare the density of sea water, and then compared the extremely salty Dead Sea, you will find that the more salt in the water, the higher is the density. Which is why you can float on the Dead Sea while reading a newspaper (which I once saw demonstrated in a documentary). Also, a ship will float lower on a fresh water lake, and float higher on salt water.
Will an egg float in salt water or tap 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.
What is the densities of fresh water and salt water?
Salt Water Density: 1.027 g/mL Fresh Water Density: 1 g/mL
Which is lighter fresh or salt water?
Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').
Which has higher density salt water or fresh?
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.
Does Egg Float In Salt Water Or Fresh Water?
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.
Does toys float better on fresh water or on salt 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.
Does salt water have a lower density than water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
Why does a grape float on salt water and not fresh water?
the density
Is it quicker to swim in salt water or fresh water?
Salt water has a slightly higher density, so it will be a little quicker to swim in fresh water.
What is the differencein pressure between salt water and fresh water at different depths?
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).
Why does salt water make stuff float than fresh water?
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.
Why is it easier to float in the ocean than 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.
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.
