It depends on the age of the egg. An older egg is likely to float as the air bubble in the egg hows larger as the egg dries out. This used to be a test for separating fresh from old eggs in general stores. Even a fresh egg (even though it doesn't float) will orient itself bubble end up in a pan of water.

∙ 13y agoWell I just got an egg out of the fridge and it sank. you probably should do it too, its really difficult
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoif an egg floats in water, that means it's fresh
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoit will float try it yourself it isn't that hard all you need is water, a bowl, & (of course) an egg.

∙ 10y agoNo, however you can float them by adding salt to water.

why does an egg float or sink in water
How do you make an egg sink?
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.
Will a marker float or sink in water?
I have a marker which float in water.
Why does an egg float in the glass of salt water?
By adding salt to water, you are increasing the density of the water (essentially how much "stuff" that is in the water). When the density of the salt water becomes greater than the density of the egg, the egg becomes more positively buoyant and will float instead of sink.
How does the density of the egg compare with the density of the plain water?
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.

How dense is a normal egg?
It doesn't float or sink in the water that means that the egg has the same density as the water.
Which object will sink in simple water and float in salty water?
A Rock would obviously sink in water and a egg would float in salt water Believe it or not bowling balls that are denser than water float!
Do eggs sink or float?
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.
How do you know the egg will sink and water will float?
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.
Does the egg float or sink in water?
It sinks because the water is more dense than the egg in the water.
Why does an egg sink in water but float in salt water?
Salt water is denser than pure water.
Will an egg float in salt or fresh water?
An egg will float in salt water because the salt makes it denser and allows the egg to stay near the surface. But in regular water it will sink straight to the bottom.
What happens if an egg is immersed in salt water?
If the egg is good and not spoiled it will sink down. If the egg is spoiled it will float up.
Will an egg float better in salt water than regular water?
Salt water. Salt water is very hypotonic and will force the egg to float. Regular water is hypertonic and force water in. Causing the egg to sink like the Titanic.
What happens when you put an egg in tap water?
When an egg is submerged under tap water it will float. This is because water is more dense than the egg.
