There will be a bit of variation between eggs, but an investigator might do something like this: Get a container like a soup pot. Put a known volume of water in it and have it about 4 or 5 inches deep. (Measure!) Record your data. Borrow a half dozen eggs from the fridge. Get permission to do this. The "selling point" is that the eggs will be returned in tact and in the same condition when you're done. Get some salt and a tablespoon to measure that salt. Gently add the eggs to the water, then add a tablespoon of salt. Stir gently to get all the salt to dissolve. Patience is required here. If you want to "speed up" things, you might consider getting a cup and dipping it into the solution, lifting it out, and pouring it back in. This might be a better way to agitate and mix the solution. It's "safer" as well. You want all the salt to dissolve, and you don't want to break the eggs. It's important that you get all the salt to dissolve before adding more, and (at the risk of repeating it) patience is a must. Though hot water would help, you're not using it because you want the eggs to be like they were before you borrowed them. Make sense? Keep adding a tablespoon of salt, stirring (or "mixing" by "cupping" out water and pouring it back in), and then waiting to insure it's all dissolved. Keep recording what you do and also the results of your actions (your observations). Eventually the eggs will float. See how much salt you had to add to the water and take the amount of salt and water and make a calculation to determine salinity. If you care to, repeat the experiment. You'll have discovered how salty water has to be to float eggs. Lastly, you'll write this up and turn it in.

What causes eggs to float in water?
Eggs float in water when they are old because air enters the eggshell as it ages, making it less dense and causing it to float.
Is it eaiser to float in salt water than fresh water?
Yes, it is easier to float in salt water than in fresh water due to salt water's higher density. The salt content in the water increases its buoyancy, making it easier for objects and people to float on the surface.
Why is it easier to float in the ocean than fresh water?
It is easier to float in the ocean than in fresh water because ocean water is denser due to the presence of salt. The salt increases the density of the water, making it easier for objects, like our bodies, to float. In fresh water, there is less salt, so the density is lower, making it harder to float.
Will a raisin float or sink in soda water?
A raisin will float in soda water because the gas bubbles in the soda water attach to the rough surface of the raisin, making it buoyant.
Why is it possible for a ship to float on water?
A ship can float on water because of buoyancy, which is the force exerted by a fluid (in this case, water) that opposes the weight of the object placed in the fluid. The shape of the ship's hull allows it to displace a volume of water equal to its weight, making it float.
Where can you find the experiment for floating egg?
The experiment involves adding salts to water until the solution becomes so dense that an egg will float or float to the surface, rather than sink. This usually requires that the water be heated. But as is the case of the Dead Sea, hypersaline water can occur naturally. There are links in the related links below.
How mush salt can float a egg?
salt in water makes water denser when dissolved, making egg float.
What does salt have that can make an egg float?
it has density when dissolved in water making an egg float.
Dependent variable on a float or sink experiment?
The dependent variable in a float or sink experiment is whether the object being tested floats or sinks in water. This variable is influenced by factors such as the object's density and volume, which determine its buoyancy in the water.
How can wooden boat float on water but a steel boat will not?
If any object, placed on the water, weighs more than the total weight of the water it displaces, it will sink. Your Steel boat probably has a too thick hull, making it very heavy. A thinner hull, making the boat lighter, just might float your boat!
What causes eggs to float in water?
Eggs float in water when they are old because air enters the eggshell as it ages, making it less dense and causing it to float.
Do baby Ruth candy bars float?
No it cannot float because it is denser than water. We did this experiment in my HS Chem class. This myth is based of the movie Caddyshack. Watch it. No it cannot float because it is denser than water. We did this experiment in my HS Chem class. This myth is based of the movie Caddyshack. Watch it.
Why do you float though you're denser than water?
If you're denser than water, you dont float. it might be because the water ur floating in might not be pure 100% water which is 1 g/ml. It might be mixed with stuff.
Will more things float in salt water or fresh water?
Salt water is very dense. I am doing an experiment on this and wanted others who might do the same to know. Wikianswers sometimes doesn't have these kinds of answers. In salt water an object is buoyant and floats a lot better.
Why do you have to have boiling water in the experiment of making crystals?
das cuz
What would be a good question for egg flotation?
will the egg float with hot water or with hot water with salt?
Is it eaiser to float in salt water than fresh water?
Yes, it is easier to float in salt water than in fresh water due to salt water's higher density. The salt content in the water increases its buoyancy, making it easier for objects and people to float on the surface.
