floating egg experiment – How much salt is needed to make an egg float? Aim: To investigate the effects of salt on the density of water (and therefore the ability to float an object in said water) and to find the amount of salt needed to float one regular egg in a glass of water. Research: Internet research shows that adding salt to water increases the density‚ and in turn makes it easier for objects to float. 4-10 teaspoons of salt in 1 glass of water is said to be enough to make one egg float

Managing China’s Float Why do you think the Chinese government originally pegged the value of the Yuan against the U.S. dollar? What were the benefits of doing this for China? What were the costs? Over the last decade‚ many foreign firms have invested in China and used their Chinese factories to produce goods for export. If the Yuan is allowed to float freely against the U.S. dollar on the foreign exchange markets and appreciates in value‚ how might this affect the fortunes of those

rate. Costs include that higher chance of the economy blowing up in a costly currency collapse (Goldstein‚ 2002‚ p. 3)‚ an example of which is the managed float currencies during the Asian crisis. Question 2 Given the level of foreign investments in China and that their investments produce goods primarily for export‚ allowing the yuan to float freely vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies in the foreign exchange markets and to appreciate in value could mean a significant decrease

We are going to measure the amount of gaseous product obtained from the amount of gaseous product obtained from reaction. Then compare to theoretical yield‚ Percent Yield=Actual Yield of Gas/ Theoretical Yield of Gas×100‚ based on stoichiometric

problem: How much salt must be added to a glass of water for an egg to float? Hypothesis: I believe it will take 5 tbsp. of salt to be added to water for an egg to float. My reason is that I think that 5 tbsp. of salt is very heavy and will make the water heavy enough to float the egg. I must make the water heavy enough to float the egg. If the water has enough salt it will float. Materials Used: Eggs – 2 medium sized chicken eggs (2.0oz each) Natural Sea Salt Iodized Salt (table salt)

Salting an egg is a very evident process. First‚ you must mix the clay‚ the salt‚ and the water. The clay that you must be used is from ant hills or termite mounds; also the kind of salt that must be used is table salt. You must used the ratio 1:1:2 in mixing the clay‚ salt‚ and water until the texture of the admixture becomes smooth and forms a thick texture similar to cake batter. Step two is to dip the fresh eggs in the admixture and packed in a box. Fresh duck eggs are must be used in dipping

Title : Osmosis in Quail’s Eggs Research Question What is the effect of different concentrations of sodium Chloride (NaCl) on the mass of the de-shelled quail’s eggs? Introduction Osmosis is an example of passive transport. Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules‚ down its concentration gradient‚ from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of lower water concentration (high solute concentration) through a selectively permeable membrane. Osmosis

learned about how salt affects the freezing point of water. In my science project I wanted to see if salt affected the freezing point of water. I started by doing some experiments. My first experiment was whether tap water or salt water would freeze first. I first started by mixing up the salt water warming it for one minute and warming the tap for one minute also. My second experiment was what ice cube would melt fastest. I started by getting two bowls. Two ice cubes‚ and salt. I began by sprinkling
