The separate layers formed because salt water is denser than pure water. Fresh water has a density of about 1.0 gram per ml of volume. Matter with higher density will sink in water; matter with lower density will float on top.The density of an egg is between that of water and salt water, so in your beaker, the egg balanced between the two layers.

∙ 13y agoAny object that sinks in a liquid has to be more dense than the liquid. An egg has slightly higher density than fresh water, so it will sink. When you dissolve salt in the water the density of the resulting saline solution increases past that of the egg, so the egg begins to float.

∙ 13y agothe salinity or how much salt is it the water because the salt is more dense then the egg so the egg then floats.
another thing it might be is that the egg has an air pocket which makes it float in water like a water balloon
i hope i have answered your question
