Does eggs float better on salt water or fresh water?

Eggs will float better in saltwater because the salt makes the water denser, causing the egg to float more easily. In freshwater, the egg may sink or not float as readily due to the lower density of the water.


Would a piece of wood that's mass is 89 grams float?

If it is made of wood, it is very likely that it will float. The mass alone (89g) is not enough information to determine if something will float. You will also need to know the volume. Divide the mass (in grammes) by the volume in (cubic centimetres) to give you a value of grammes/cc Water has a density of 1g/cc. If the wood has a value less than this then it will float in water.


Does semen sink or float?

Semen typically sinks in water due to its density. It is made up of various components, including sperm cells, fluid from the prostate gland, and fluid from the seminal vesicles, which give it a heavier weight compared to water.


What is in the orange juice that can make the egg float?

The reason an egg floats in orange juice is due to its density. Orange juice has a higher density than water, which causes the egg, which is less dense, to float. This is because the egg displaces an amount of orange juice equal to its weight, making it buoyant.


Why does the balloon doesn't float when rain fall?

When a balloon is filled with helium or hot air, it rises because it is lighter than the surrounding air. Rain falls when water droplets in clouds become large enough to overcome air resistance and gravity, making them too heavy for the air to support. The raindrops fall downward due to gravity, and they do not have the properties needed to make the balloon float.

Which metals float on water?

Lithium, sodium, and potassium all float on water. Sodium and lithium both react with the water to give off hydrogen gas - they look a bit like fizzies when they do it. They can give off enough heat to light the gas, so they burn as they float around if there is enough oxygen to support a flame. I imagine potassium would act the same way, but I have never seen it personally. Beryllium, the lightest element in the alkaline earth group, is more dense that water, and would not float.

Is it easier to float in carbonated water than fresh water?

Yes, it is generally easier to float in carbonated water than in fresh water due to the buoyant force provided by the carbonation bubbles. These bubbles can increase the overall density of the water, making it easier for objects (including humans) to float on the surface.


Does eggs float better on salt water or fresh water?

Eggs will float better in saltwater because the salt makes the water denser, causing the egg to float more easily. In freshwater, the egg may sink or not float as readily due to the lower density of the water.


What happens when you put a leaf in boiling water?

Depending on the weight of the leaves, some will float to the top to give off their flavors to the boiling water, or will float to the bottom to accomplish the same task.


How would the high salinity of great salt lake effect the way objects float in it?

Give a higher density to the water due to the salt content which causes object to float higher.


What metals have weight in water?

Metals that have a density greater than the density of water will sink in water, while metals that have a density less than water will float. For example, metals like lead, gold, and silver will sink in water, while metals like aluminum and lithium will float.
