Question
Sasha is conducting an experiment with water, salt, and eggs to see if eggs would float.
What property of matter is Sasha demonstrating and how do you know?
A.
reactivity; The salt reacts chemically with the water which causes the egg to float.
B.
color; The salt turns the water cloudy which causes the egg to float.
C.
density; The salt causes the water to be denser which causes the egg to float.
D.
melting point; The salt melts in the water which causes the egg to float.

C. density; The salt causes the water to be denser which causes the egg to float.
This is the correct choice because the experiment demonstrates how adding salt to water increases the density of the solution. When the density of the water (with salt) becomes greater than the density of the egg, the egg will float.
