Experiments comparing the densities of salt water and fresh water can demonstrate how salinity affects the buoyancy of objects. Salt water is denser than fresh water due to the dissolved salt, causing objects to float higher in salt water compared to fresh water of the same volume. This phenomenon is demonstrated in experiments such as the floating egg or sinking and floating objects in different types of water.
When you soak an egg in salt water, the egg will float because the salt water is denser than the egg, decreasing its overall density. This is due to the process of osmosis, where water moves from an area of low salt concentration (inside the egg) to an area of high salt concentration (the salt water), causing the egg to float.
An egg floats in saltwater because the density of the saltwater is greater than the density of the egg. This causes the buoyant force acting on the egg to be greater than its weight, allowing it to float.
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.
The density of liquids really depends on the suspended matter in it. If you have really dense concentration of salt in water, yes it could be denser than an egg. If you have merely a weak solution of salt, then the egg is denser... it depend on how much salt you have in the water.
woetso jigdak invented an egg floating in salt water.

The dependent variable in an experiment involving an egg floating in salt water would likely be the level of buoyancy, which can be measured by whether the egg floats or sinks in the solution.

Floating is a physical process. Generally the density of egg is slightly more than that of pure water. When a salt is dissolved in water its density is increased defending on the concentration of the salt in the water. Since the density of salt solution is more egg floats in salt solution.
An egg floating in salt water. The salt makes the water more dense. Since the egg is less dense it floats!
Density of salt water.
An egg will float better in salt water. The density of salt water is greater than regular water hence better floating by the egg.
There are no serious/significant risks involved in the experiment.
If you put an egg in salt water for a week, the egg will begin to undergo osmosis. The salt concentration in the water will cause water to move out of the egg, resulting in the egg shrinking and becoming smaller in size. The egg's membrane may also become translucent or appear to be semi-transparent.
A fresh egg don't float in pure water; in a salty water the floating depends on the concentration of the salt in solution. The salty water is more dense.
The egg does not float with just baking soda and water you must add a lot of salt to the mixture and then the egg will float.
