Question

An egg sinking in pure water and floating in brine solution (salt water) is depicted.

a) Which one has the higher density - pure water or brine solution?
b Why does the egg sink in pure water and float in brine solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

because the density of egg is greater than of tap water it sinks

As the density of strong salt solution is denser than fresh water, it exerts more upthrust on the egg that balance the weight of the egg hence the egg sinks in fresh water but floats on a strong salt solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) brine solution have more density..( as it consist of salt also in addition to water due to which mass per unit volume increases and thus density of brine soliution is more than that of pure water)

b ) because density of egg is higher than that of water so it sink in water

and egg's density is less than that of brine solution so it floats in it..

( note that density of egg is same..its just brine solution is more denser than water)
