Why Ethelyene Glycol is mixed with water in a radiator coolant?
The boiling point of the mixture is higher than the boiling point of pure water; this slows down the evaporation of the coolant.
What does the boiling of salt water compare to the boiling point of fresh water?
The boiling point of freshwater is lower than the boiling point of saltwater.
What is the difference between water in a radiator and antifreeze?
water can freeze. anti freeze can not.
How many grams of ethylene glycol automobile antifreeze C2H6O2 dissolved in 3.80kg of water is needed to lower the freezing point of water in an automobile radiator to 21.0C?
None. The freezing point of pure water is already lower than that.
In degrees Celsius the boiling point of water?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius
Does adding antifreeze to a car radiator increase the boiling point of the water in the radiator?
Yes
How does antifreeze keep the water in your radiator from freezing and overheating?
It changes the freezing and boiling point.
In what two ways is adding antifreeze to the water in a car radiator useful?
The antifreeze provides corrosion protection until the corrosion package is " used up " and it raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of the water
Why is Water Boiling in radiator?
The water is boiling in radiator because it's temperature(radiator's) reaches the boiling point of water when the engine works for a long time.
Do you need antifreeze in car radiator in summer?
Yes. It raises the boiling point of the water it's mixed with so it won't turn into a gas at 100 degrees C.
How does an antifreeze prevent freezing in cold months and overheating and boiling?
It lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of water.
What are physical changes of antifreeze when dissolved in water?
will change the boiling and freezing point of the water
Why is the water boiling over in your car but it is not marking hot?
The boiling point of water is 212 degrees, most vehicles now days operate ftom 205 to 215. A 50% mix of distilled water and antifreeze will extend the the boiling point to 265 degrees at sea level. If you go up in elevation the boiling point will decrease, so make sure you have a known good or new radiator cap to prevent premature water boiling in higher elevations
Why does antifreeze boil faster than water?
It does NOT boil faster than water. It has higher boiling point AND lower freezing point. - Antifreeze boils at about 197 c.
Why cars use of antifreeze in summer?
Antifreeze also raises the boiling point, has lubricants for the water pump, and has corrosion inhibitors in it.
What are the four that antifreeze does when added to the cooling system?
Antifreeze:prevents cooling water from freezing through lowering the freezing pointelevates the boiling point of the coolantallows higher heat conductionreduce radiator metal corrosion
Does antifreeze boil at a lower temperatures than pure water?
The mixture of the two liquids (water and antifreeze ethylene glycol))has a higher boiling point and lower freezing point than water alone.
