Does salt water have more or less cohesion than distilled water? why?

Salt water have less cohesion than distilled water.

Explanation: Cohesion is the inter molecular forces of attraction between similar molecules.

In distilled water there are molecules only which are bonded by hydrogen bonds and act as cohesive forces.

When salt is dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions and get surrounded by water molecules. Cations produced from salt start interacting with negative pole of water and anions produced from salt start interacting with positive pole of water, thus reducing the inter molecular forces present between water molecules.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .

it would be a gas formation
