The potato float in salty water and sink in normal water because

  • It's an obvious fact that any object floats better on a dense surface. When salt is allowed to dissolve in water then density increases. So, when a potato is introduced to the salty water it starts floating just like sea water.
  • Normal water on the other hand is light. When potato is allowed to float it would eventually sink as the density of normal water is less than that of potato.
  • Hence, potato float in salty water and sink in normal water.
