Can an egg float on salt water and baking soda at the same time?
Yes, an egg can float on salt water and baking soda at the same time. This is because the salt water and baking soda create a denser solution than water alone, which increases the buoyancy of the egg and allows it to float.
To make an egg float in salt water and baking soda, you will need:
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda
- 1 clear container (such as a glass or bowl)
Instructions:
1. Fill the clear container with water.
2. Add the salt and baking soda to the water and stir until dissolved.
3. Gently place the egg in the salt water and baking soda solution.
4. Observe the egg. It should float to the surface of the solution.
The reason why the egg floats in the salt water and baking soda solution is due to the difference in density between the solution and the egg. Density is a measure of the mass of an object per unit volume. The more dense an object is, the more mass it has per unit volume.
Salt water is denser than water alone, and baking soda is denser than salt water. When you add salt and baking soda to water, you are increasing the density of the water. This makes it more difficult for the egg to sink, and it will therefore float to the surface.
