Question

Do the properties of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension behave different in salt water vs fresh water

Answer 1

Answer:

The water has a dipole that causes it to act like a magnet, attracting other water molecules to it. Adhesion is the attractive forces that cause water to "stick" to a surface other than its own. ... The salt water has a much lower cohesion than plain water so it's attractive forces are less than plain water.
