Absolute salt concentration

Post by donnahardy2 »

Hi Nala 8,

I will ask the moderator to move your question to a new topic,


Are your doing the floating egg experiment on the Science Buddies website?

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p003.shtml

Did you follow the directions as given in the experimental procedure? If so, how many grams of sodium chloride in what volume of water were required to float the egg?

I think the problem you are having is that you haven’t had chemistry yet, but if you will tell me where you are in the experiment, I will try to help.

I am on the part where you have to find the absolute concentration. I am having trouble finding it.
