Just about anything will float in saltwater, if there is enough salt in the water.
The salt content of the Dead Sea is about 31%, and it's very easy for a person to float in. This is because the salt makes the water more dense, and this affects the property known as buoyancy.
If the weight of an object is less than the weight of the fluid the object would displace if it were fully submerged, then the object has an average density less than the fluid and has a buoyancy greater than its weight.
Make the water denser (heavier) by adding salt, and you increase the likelihood that an object will weigh less than the water it displaces, and will therefore float. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy#De…

What are the Methods of Procedure for an egg floats in salt water?
because the salt water is more dense than the egg
What happen in an egg when it placed in a salt solution?
The salt water egg experiment is to demonstrate that salt water is denser so the egg floats. When the egg is placed in pure water, the egg sinks because pure water is less dense than salt water.
What made the egg float in salt water?
that the water with salt well make the egg float
Why does an egg always has to float in salt water?
i did this project before the egg floats because the salt has a lot of molecules
Why egg floats in concentrated salt water?
Egg floats only when the density of the salt solution is almost equal to the density of the egg.The density is made equal by making the salt solution saturaed i.e by adding more salt so that the net mass increases and thus increasing the density. Thus by displacing a small amount of water,the egg floats
Why does an egg float on salt water?
an egg floats by its self
What happens when an egg is put into salt water?
It floats.
What are the Methods of Procedure for an egg floats in salt water?
because the salt water is more dense than the egg
What happen in an egg when it placed in a salt solution?
The salt water egg experiment is to demonstrate that salt water is denser so the egg floats. When the egg is placed in pure water, the egg sinks because pure water is less dense than salt water.
What should happen when a egg has its shell carefully removed and is then placed in salt water?
It floats. the whole egg floats if you put it in salt water.
What made the egg float in salt water?
that the water with salt well make the egg float
Why does egg sink in fresh water but in salt water it floats?
Salt water is denser than fresh.

Examples of buoyancy?
An egg floating in salt water. The salt makes the water more dense. Since the egg is less dense it floats!
Is making an egg float in salt water chemistry or science or physics?
Density is physical, that's what 'egg-floats-in-salt-water-' is all about.
Why an egg floats in saltwater?
because the salt make the water roses up in the egg move along with the water
