a) only water
b) only salt water
c) 1/2 water, 1/2 salt water
Response: Since the density of an uncooked egg is less than the density of a hardboiled egg, they will sink/float differently in water. In addition, we need to know that the density of salt water is greater than the density of plain water.
Therefore, if we put an uncooked egg in plain water, the egg will sink. In other words, the density of the egg is greater than ...
