Answer: It appears as though fresh water has a surface tension of 72.5 mN/m

Explanation: Since fresh water does not have a high concentration of salt, and pure fresh water has no salt at all, you are trying to find the value of surface tension at 0% salinity. At 0% salinity, the surface tension value is 72.5 mN/m
