In this salt water egg experiment we can find a solution for this question. It was noted that to make the egg float salt is needed to dissolve into fresh water. When the egg was lowered into the fresh water container it started to sink. But when salt was added to the container the egg started to float. Adding salt

The experiment began using a TI-84 calculator as a random number generator‚ and 1-4 inputted into the calculator to determine order. Numbers 1-3 were inputted to determine the order of experimental groups for the participant. A plastic tub was then filled with a liter of water at 25℃‚ and a thermometer was placed into the water to verify. The experiment was divided into three sections; 30 seconds before submission‚ during submission
