Question

Why does an shrink in water but floats in highly salt water

Answer 1

Explanation:

because the density of Normal water is differe from salt water,so it happen

Answer 2

A egg sinks in freshwater because the egg is more dense than the water it displaces. ... Add enough salt and the density of salty water exceeds the density of the egg,so it floats.Adding salt to water makes the water denser. As the salt dissolves in the water, it adds mass (more weight to the water). This makes the water denser and thus allows more objects to float on the surface that would sink in fresh water.When lemon floats in salt water its weight is equal to the weight of the displaced water. When it was still sinking, its weight is more than the weight of the displaced water. ... The dissolved salt increased the density of the water hence its buoyant force increased.
