Why doesn't an egg float in sugar water?

Answer 1

Raw egg only floats in water if it is spoiled if it's boiled. Boiled eggs float too, since the egg's mass is now lesser than the water's density. When you boil, it makes the volume greater & the density lesser.

Answer 2

An egg does not float in sugar water only in salt water. Yes it can in any water type its just that you need to measure the type of egg it is and how many ounces it weighs and all that.

Answer 3

the reason y some things will float and other not comes down 2 their buoyancy, which is 2 do with their differences in density. the egg will not float because the sugar water is less dense than the egg

Answer 4

Salt water is more dense than pure water and so is sugar water. Salt and sugar are ripped apart when they are disolved in the water. With the salt and sugar in water, it makes the liquid more dense and thus the egg floats, or floats higher, in the water.

Like the ocean, you float due to its salt content. If there was no salt in the ocean, you would not float as easily.

Answer 5

An egg will sink in sugar water because the sugar increases the water's density, making it more dense than the egg. When the density of an object is greater than the density of the liquid it is in, the object will sink.

Answer 6

The egg is heaver per volume than the water.

Answer 7

Yess.. you need at least 150 ml of itt :)
