Fresh eggs float in salt water because the density of salt water is more than the density of the egg. But fresh eggs do not float in fresh water because the density of water is less than that of the egg. Salt increases the density of water.

What is in the salt water why the egg float?
Salt water have a higher density.So it can produce enough upthrust to make the egg float.
Why do eggs float to the top in salt water?
This had to do with density. When you put the egg into the water, it sinks as it is more dense than the water. However, if you add salt in the water, it becomes salt water and makes the water more dense than the egg so the egg can float. It is the same reason why people float in the dead sea. The dead sea is very salty and is more dense than humans. That's why we float so well in the dead sea.
Would an egg float in fresh water?
no i dont think so
Why a rotten egg will float in a fresh water?
During decomposition an egg gives off gas which collects within the shell. Eventually this collection of gas gives the egg enough bouancy to float.
If pure water has a density of one gram per milliliter why does an egg sink in it but float in salt water?
That indicates that the average density of an egg is greater than the density of pure water but less than that of salt water. Salt water has more density the regular/pure water and the more salt you add the more it floats.
Can an egg float in salt water or fresh water?
salt water
Will an egg float in salt water or tap water?
Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.
Does an egg float higher in salt water or fresh water?
salt water.
Will a raw egg float better in salt water or fresh water?
salt 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 things will float in salt water and not in fresh water?
An egg is one such thing.
Can an egg float better with salt?
An egg will sink in fresh water. Salt water is denser than fresh water, which allows the egg to float.
Will a egg float in salt water?
Yes, and egg will float in salt water.
Does eggs float better on salt water or fresh water?
viscosity of saline water is higher than that of pure water
Why does an egg floats in salt solution but not in fresh water?
Because the salt increases water density making it possible the egg to float. (If it really happens)
Why does an egg sink in fresh water but float in salt water but stays in the middle when pour water into salt water?
Eggs, water, floating.An egg doesn't float in fresh water but since salt water is more dense than fresh water, it has a better chance of floating in the salt water. The greater buoyant force allows the egg to float in the salt water, if salty enough.More explanationAn egg sinks in fresh water but not in salt water because fresh water is not as dense. In order for something to float, the buoyant force has to be greater than or equal to the weight of the object. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid that is displaced by the object. To figure out the weight of the water displaced you multiply the density of the water by the volume and then multiply that by gravity. The density of the fresh water is less than the density of the salt water, therefore the weight of the water displaced will be greater in the case of the salt water, resulting in a greater buoyant force.The more salt in water the more bouyant an object becomes. The salt makes the water more denser. Check out the dead sea. Most salt content in any lake or sea. The density of the salt water is greater than the density of the egg. Items sink if their own density is greater than the density of whatever they are trying to float in. Items float to the top if their density is less than the density of what they are floating in, and items hang in the middle if the densities are the same. Adding in the salt gives the water a greater density than the water did had before, so the egg doesn't float in freshwater.Did you know?A fresh egg will sink in fresh water but it will float in salty water. A rotten egg will float in fresh water.
Can a boiled egg float better in salt water or fresh water?
Because the density of the egg is lower than the density of the saltwater Because the density of the egg is lower than the density of the saltwater
