can an egg float in sugared water? if no, why not?

Objects float because the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid. If you increase the density of water by dissolving something, such as sugar or salt, in it and create a situation where the density of the water exceeds the density of the egg, the egg will float.

Yes, gravity exists near anything that has mass.  If you remove the air from a container, what's inside won't float.

I'll address this as a formal type of trial, kind of give you the extremes first, and you'll need to tone it down to the level that you're looking to do.  \n\nFirst, and I'd say most importantly, you need to do this to much more than one egg.  What your teachers will be looking for is a stistically signifigant amount.  If you do one, your answer is 100% one way or the other, which isn't too helpful.  \n\nSecond, I would do each egg in "regular" water first.  Since, when they were boiled, they were already exposed to that type of water, there isn't much chance of them being contaminated in any way.  I would then make a chart something like this\n\nEgg #   |  Floated in norm...  |  Floated in salt...  \n   \n     1                        no                       yes\n\netc.\n\nYou'll want to, in some way, be able to compare these, so that you can quantify your results.  For example  "85% of the eggs tested were more boyant in salt water than in normal water..."  \n\nWays to improve\nThe only big thing I can think of here, with out changing this to a general which liquid is most bouyant, is be consistant.  Check and make sure that the water levels are close, you don't want 6 inches of salt water and only 4 of normal.  Check the temperature of the water, if one is hotter it will help its bouyancy.  Make sure to use the same mixture of salt to water each time, if you use more than one container.  And consider using bottled water, probably not necessary at all, but tap water has a lot of other stuff in it.  \n\nMost importantly, write down everything you do.  Say you checked the water temp.  Tell them that the ratio of salt to water was the same every time (and what it was).  The more details you give them, the more through you show yourself to be.  Have fun, maybe you can make egg salad after you're done!

Something floats if the weight of the volume of liquid displaced is higher than the weight of the object.  This means that three things are important in determining whether your egg floats or not, the weight of the egg, the volume of the egg, and the weight of the water that the egg displaces.  In your experiment, the weight of the egg didn't change.  Nor did the volume of the egg.  That means that you were changing the weight of the water displaced!  Salt water is heavier than fresh water.  The more salt you added, the more dense the water got.  (Density is weight divided by volume, so when we say something is more dense, it means that a fixed volume is heavier.)  When the density of the water got high enough that the water displaced by the egg weighed more than the egg, the egg started to float.  I need to know more about your experiment to help you with a chart, but you probably need to have the amount of salt added on the X axis  and whatever you were measuring on the Y axis.  Since sea salt and table salt have the same effect on water, you should expect the results to be similar.

sugar in water forms a true solution, and the size of the particles is less than a nanometer\nit is nearly impossible for us to seperate sugar frm water using home made techniques\nhowever there r lab techniques thro which the sugar particles can be crystallised.evaporation will not help in getting the sugar back\n\nwhat is the purpose of doing all these to a super saturated solution????\nu can just evaporate the water frm a super saturated soln(no clips and nothin else)\nhowever in case u have little amt of sugar in water, what will u do?????

Probably dipping the egg in liquid nitrogen for a while would make it so hard it would be nearly unbrakable!

fish eggs have no cholestrol in them... fish is very low

dinosaur egg... is this a real question?

I can tell you that the absolute best container for an egg drop is a cardboard box filled with popcorn or styrofoam peanuts.  Trust me on this one.  Just make sure the egg is in the center of the container.

I doubt it. Most fish do not protect their eggs at all. Though, some do.  I doubt they bother with eggs of no potential offspring other than being a food source.

I'm assuming you mean boil an egg. \n\nAt sea level where the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm (at stp) water boils at 100 degrees celcius. This is sufficiently hot enough to boil an egg.\n\nAs you rise higher in altitude, there is less air above you and so the atmospheric pressure becomes less. This allows gases to escape from liquids more readily (a can of coke is pressurized to 4 atm's). As a result, the water will boil more readily at a higher altitude, however, it will do so at a lower temperature than it would at sea level, so it would take the egg longer to cook.

i assume you mean why dont the rotten eggs "drown" as in sink. well this is because when they go rotten as the egg starts to decay it broduces gas, mostly methane and sulphor so this means thats the egg becomes lighter so making it float.

No. Most sugars can be crystallized.

if u r considering egg as spherical instead of oval. and surface tension is taken as T then pressure difeerence outside and inside of egg is 4T/R where  R is radius of egg.So maximum pressure it can sustain is 4T/R.\nhey,i did it.

Put the egg in the middle of a 1 foot square styrene block. \nFit the egg with a parachute. \nput it in strong bottle filled with water before dropping it.

Alternatively, you might way to try filling a 17" x 17" x 7" box with tiny chopped up styrofoam.  You might have to experiment with the size to make sure that the egg doesn't push all the way to the bottom and crack.  The idea is to maximize the size of the crater the egg will make without bottoming out, which means maximum distribution of transferred kinetic energy. Maybe you can have larger pieces at the bottom, and use sucessively smaller pieces towards the top of the box, to avoid having to experiment much with the sizes.

If you leave an egg in vinegar long enough the shell will disolve leaving only the inner membrane.  It's pretty cool.  I've done it quite a few times.
