What else can I help you with?
Do you have to use hot water and salt to make an egg float?
no you do not. But you can. A drop of vinegar helps!
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.
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 an egg in tap water?
When you put an egg in tap water, it will sink to the bottom if it is fresh. Fresh eggs have denser contents, causing them to sink. If it floats, it is an indication that the egg is not as fresh and has probably started to spoil.
Why do eggs float on salty water but not on ordinary water?
Eggs float in salty water because the density of the salty water is higher than that of the egg, causing it to float. In ordinary water, the density of the egg is higher than that of the water, so it sinks. The increased density in the salty water creates more buoyant force, allowing the egg to float.
An egg can float in salt water?
yes an egg can float in salt water but it depends on the density of the water.

A raw egg sinks when places in a beaker of tap water If enough salt is dessolved in the water the egg will ultimately float?
Yes.

An egg sinks in fresh water but floats in a strong solution of salt why?
because following the density principle, the density of the egg compared to the density of the tap water is lesser....(the density principle states that an object or substance with lesser density will float on the surface of the substance or object which has the greater density...).....now,,,with salt,,, salt makes the density of the tap water to increase and increases also the salinity of the water making the egg float because the density of the water with salt is now greater than the density of the egg.... An egg will float when the density of the water is greater than the density of the egg. Adding salt increases the density of a salt water solution. Whether the egg floats or sinks depends on the condition of the egg as well as the amount of salt in the water. If an object is LESS dense than the solution that it is in, then it WILL float. If an object is MORE dense than the solution it is in, then it WILL NOT float. An egg is more dense than regular water; therefore, the egg will sink. But when you add salt to the water, you are making the solution more dense. The salt water's density becomes greater to the point that it is more dense than the egg. Because the egg is now LESS dense than the water, it floats.
Do objects float better in salt water or tap water?
Objects float better in salt water compared to tap water because salt water is denser than freshwater. The higher density of salt water provides more buoyant force, making it easier for objects to float.
Egg in the salt water?
Things You'll Need:EggTall glassWater6 tbsps. saltLong spoonStep 1Fill the glass about half-full with water.Step 2 Pour the salt into the glass. Mix the salt into the water with the spoon. Stir until the salt dissolves.Step 3 Slowly add more water to the glass until it's almost full. Do this carefully, so that the fresh tap water won't mix with the salt water in the glass.Step 4 Gently place the egg into the glass of fresh and salt water. Watch as the egg falls through the plain water at the top of the glass but floats in the salt water.

Eggs float in salty water because the density of the salty water is higher than that of the egg, causing it to float. In ordinary water, the density of the egg is higher than that of the water, so it sinks. The increased density in the salty water creates more buoyant force, allowing the egg to float.
Do things float better in salt water or fresh water?
Things can float better in salt water, due to density. For a visual experience, try getting 2 cups, fill both with tap water, and put salt in one cup, then mix it in. Get 2 eggs, and put one in each cup, keep on adding salt to one cup, until the egg floats. I hope I answered your question!
Why does egg not floats on water?
If you add salt to water, it becomes a solution of salt and water. That solution is denser than just water. Archimedes' Principle says that if you place an object in a fluid, it will be "buoyed" up by the weight of the fluid that it displaces. If you're an egg, then you will displace an egg volume of the fluid into which I place you. The displaced volume of salt water weighs more than just water, so you float rather than sink.
