What will float in saltwater but not float in tap water?

Objects that contain a higher density that water will sink, but if the same object has a lower density that saltwater, then it will float in salt water. And this also depends on the concentration of sodium ions present in the salt water. As the concentration of the sodium ions increase, the density of the salt water increases.


What can an egg float better in?

In a denser liquid.A raw egg will sink in fresh water, but float in salt water. It also depends on how fresh the egg is.Set an egg in cold water-If the egg stay at the bottom - it is fresh.If the egg is at an angle on the bottom - it is still fresh and good to eat.If the egg stands on its pointed end at the bottom - it is still safe to eat but best used for baking or boiled eggs.If the egg floats - it is best discarded.


How much salt can float an egg?

About 6 tablespoons - Check out the link below It depends on how old the egg is. An egg that is a week or so old will float in tap water...that's how you can test to see if an egg is fit to eat.


What happens when you put a raw egg in vinegar and then saltwater?

When you put a raw egg in vinegar, the acid in the vinegar dissolves the eggshell. This leaves you with just the egg membrane. When you then place the egg in saltwater, osmosis occurs where water moves from the egg to the saltwater or vice versa depending on the concentration gradient, causing the egg to shrink or swell.


What is the problem statement of can an egg float better in salt or reagular water?

The problem statement is to determine whether an egg will float better in saltwater or freshwater. This involves conducting an experiment to observe the buoyancy of the egg in both types of water and comparing the results.

Why will an egg float in saltwater other than freshwater?

cuz saltwater is more dense than freshwater


Why would egg float in saltwater and and not freshwater?

Eggs can float in saltwater because the high density of saltwater makes the overall density of the egg lower than that of the water, causing it to float. In freshwater, the egg is denser than the less dense water and therefore sinks.


Why does an egg sink in water but float in salty water?

An egg sinks in regular water because it is more dense than water. When salt is added to water, it increases the water's density, making the egg less dense than the saltwater and causing it to float.


Can a boiled egg float better in salt water or fresh water?

Because the density of the egg is lower than the density of the saltwater Because the density of the egg is lower than the density of the saltwater


What does salt have that can make an egg float?

it has density when dissolved in water making an egg float.

And this also depends on the concentration of sodium ions present in the salt water. As the concentration of the sodium ions increase, the density of the salt water increases.


Boiled egg float or sink?

float....when you boil an egg it starts out at the bottom and as the insides harden, making it ready for consumption, it will float.
