Sink or float?

No Googling!
I just learned this today.

I would think it would be the same as an unspoiled egg no? Same mass, same volume....

Since you're asking, i'm guessing sink.

Yeah, since he's asking the answer is obviously different for unspoiled/spolied eggs. It turns out that spoiled eggs float.

for those to lazy to google its in white below (I got curious), taken from some egg safety web page

<font color="white"> An egg can float in water when its air cell has enlarged sufficiently to keep it buoyant. This means the egg is old, but it may be perfectly safe to use. Crack the egg into a bowl and examine it for off-odor or unusable appearance before deciding to use or discard it. A spoiled egg will have an unpleasant odor when you break the shell, either when raw or cooked. </font>

I voted float because I figured that bacteria in a spoiled egg would release gases which would expand the egg and decrease its density.

I read this and then went to the throne to think about what the answer was. Since I apparently ate a lot of fiber in the last day or two, I voted floater.

i'll say float because as something spoils, doesnt it release gases? or something or other i dont know... im makign this up.

but i know that when milk spoiled it created more pressure inside my milk container making me think it would float rather than unspoiled milk.

When i put eggs in water to boil, they sink, so I would assume spoiled eggs float, otherwise, why would you be askig?

[unreal_nh]

Duh. When I made the post I thought unspoiled eggs floated. I don't know why. But at least my reasoning for the post was right.
