surface tension is measured by the amount of force needed tobreak the interface

Question

surface tension is measured by the amount of force needed tobreak the interface between two substances. consider the tablebelow, which reports the surface tension at the interface betweenseveral compounds and air. the units are milliNewtons m-1 water 72.9 ethylene glycol   47.3 benzene 28.9 methanol 22.5 chlorogorm 26.7 based on surface tension, which of these molecules whould bebest able to support the eight of a typical insect that mightbe foundd in Missouri? (methanol, wateer, ethylene glycol, benzene, chloroform) surface tension is measured by the amount of force needed tobreak the interface between two substances. consider the tablebelow, which reports the surface tension at the interface betweenseveral compounds and air. the units are milliNewtons m-1 water 72.9 ethylene glycol   47.3 benzene 28.9 methanol 22.5 chlorogorm 26.7 based on surface tension, which of these molecules whould bebest able to support the eight of a typical insect that mightbe foundd in Missouri?

Explanation / Answer

So, the higher the surface tension, the more weight it canhold.
Therefore, the water is mostlikely to hold the insects
Hope that helps
