why does an egg float or sink in water
An egg will sink in water but will float in salt water. An egg will sink faster in hot water than it will in cold water.
A hard boiled egg will sink in water because it is denser than water. However, it will float in vinegar due to the lower density of vinegar compared to the egg.
Your egg is floating in water because it is less dense than the water. This means that the egg is lighter than the water, causing it to float instead of sink.
A fresh chicken egg will sink, an old egg will float. The egg has an air pocket in the blunt end that grows as the egg dries out.
Eggs sink because they are denser than water. When an egg sinks, it means that it is fresh and good to eat. If an egg floats, it may be old and not safe to consume.
If it is heaver than water (or what ever liquid you put it in) it will sink. Lead will sink. A cork will float.
An egg will sink in water but will float in salt water. An egg will sink faster in hot water than it will in cold water.
The coconut floats on water because its density is less than the density of the water. Anything with a greater density than water, such as lead, will sink.
An egg sinks in fresh water because its density is higher than that of water. The weight of the egg overcomes the buoyant force exerted by the water, causing it to sink.
A hard boiled egg will sink in water because it is denser than water. However, it will float in vinegar due to the lower density of vinegar compared to the egg.
An egg sinks if it is more dense than water.

Higher density.
It doesn't float or sink in the water that means that the egg has the same density as the water.
Normaly if an egg floats it is bad and should be discarded. As the egg ages air pockets enter the egg, that's why they float. A change in buoyancy. If the egg is more dense then the water (or whatever liquid it is in), it will sink.
The older an egg is the more likely it is to float. If it actually sits on the surface it may actually have gone bad.
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.
