it most likely is!!
One method of determining if an egg floats in salt water is by dissolving salt in a container of water until the egg floats. Another method involves gradually adding salt to a container of water while placing the egg in to see if it floats. Both methods rely on the principle that the density of the water increases as salt is added, causing the egg to float when the water becomes dense enough.
that the water with salt well make the egg float
i did this project before the egg floats because the salt has a lot of molecules
Egg floats only when the density of the salt solution is almost equal to the density of the egg.The density is made equal by making the salt solution saturaed i.e by adding more salt so that the net mass increases and thus increasing the density. Thus by displacing a small amount of water,the egg floats
The salt water egg experiment is to demonstrate that salt water is denser so the egg floats. When the egg is placed in pure water, the egg sinks because pure water is less dense than salt water.
U can use the water test, put the egg in cold water, if it floats...it's dead, if it sinks it's alive
You can't. Once an egg is dead it is dead.
This is a common way of checking duck and chicken eggs for freshness. If the egg stays at the bottom of the jar, it is very fresh. If if suspends towards the middle, it is not as fresh, but it is still edible. If it rises almost to the top or floats, the egg has likely gone bad. It has to do with the air pocket inside of the shell expanding as the egg ages.
Your duck egg is dead. Throw it away.
an egg floats by its self
Yes, an egg that floats in water is likely bad because it indicates that air has entered the eggshell, causing it to spoil.
If a duck egg sinks in water, it is likely fresh and suitable for consumption. Whether it is alive or not cannot be determined by this method, as it pertains to its quality for consumption rather than its vitality. To check if an egg is alive, it would require specialized equipment and techniques such as candling.

You're kidding right? Well, for starters, if it's not moving, stiff, and lays in the same spot for a few days, it's more than likely dead...and if it's stinky and has maggots on it, time to bury it.
It floats.
When an egg floats in water, it means that the egg is no longer fresh. This is because as eggs age, air enters the egg through the porous shell, causing it to become less dense and float.
duck eggs can take up to 35 days till hatching. but if you have already open the egg yourself then the duck is dead
