Is the amount of fluid absorbed by a sponge affected by the type of fluid being absobed?

Yes, the amount of fluid absorbed by a sponge can be affected by the type of fluid being absorbed. Different fluids have varying viscosities, surface tensions, and chemical properties, which can influence how well they penetrate the sponge's porous structure. For example, a thicker fluid may not be absorbed as easily as a thinner one. Additionally, the sponge's material and design may interact differently with various fluids, further affecting absorption capacity.
