Does an egg float in water with pepper?

Whether an egg floats in water with pepper depends on the density of the water, not the pepper.

* Fresh eggs sink: This is because they are denser than water.

* Older eggs float: As an egg ages, the air pocket inside it gets larger. This makes the egg less dense, allowing it to float.

Pepper doesn't change the density of the water significantly. The pepper sits on the surface of the water and doesn't affect the egg's buoyancy.

So, an egg will float in water with pepper if it's old enough to be less dense than the water.
