Synopsis

This video demonstrates two distinct arrangements where an egg can float or sink. Water only is the first option, followed by salty water. The density of a solution increases when salt is added to water because salt increases mass without appreciably changing volume. When enough salt is added to the water, the density of the saltwater solution is greater than that of the egg, allowing the egg to float! Enjoy the world of Science!
