No. Your water pump is leaking because its shot. If you grand am has a 4cyl in it you need to put new thermostat in when you replace the water pump. Also you need to flush the cooling system. That brings us to this reason. The GM 4 cyl will not take to over heating, because if you overheat them I will tell you right now the head gasket will be gone and you will spend some bucks to get it fixed if you don't ruin the engine first.

Why don't you make thermometers with water?

You can make a thermometer with water, and in fact Galileo invented a rudimentary water thermometer in 1593. However, using other materials such as alcohol or mercury allows you to measure a greater variation in temperature.


Why should you not put water on a chlorine leak?

A mixture of water and chlorine will increase the rate of corrosion of the container and make the leak larger


How do you calibrate a thermometer?

You first put ice into a cup then add cold water, then stir. You then wait until it is 0 degrees ( which will take about 5 minutes ) then you put the thermometer in and make sure it is 0 degrees celsius. Then boil water and put a thermometer in and make sure it's 100 degrees celsius.

Why does the freezing point of water make it a poor choice for the liquid in a thermometer?

Water freezes at a fairly high temperature - 0oC/32oF. As soon as the temperature reached that point the water would freeze and the thermometer would no longer work. One would not be able to use a thermometer with water in it to measure any temperatures below 0oC/32oF.


Why does water's freezing point make water a poor choice for the liquid in a thermometer?

The water would regularly freeze in the winter in many parts of the world.


How could you calibrate a thermometer which had no scale marked?

Put it in a pot of water. Boil the water. Then mark the spot on the thermometer at which the water boils - the spot you marked will be 100 degrees celsius. Then put it in water in the freezer and mark it. The point at which the water freezes will be 0 degrees celsius. Then measure the length between 0 and 100 and make 9 equal marks for each 10 degrees and your thermometer is calibrated.

When you put water in the radiator why does it keep running out?

There could be a leak, maybe a small leak, and only when it overheats. Also, check the oil and make sure there is no water in the oil. It will probably look weirdly milky on the dipstick if there is water in the oil.
