Does adding antifreeze to a car radiator increase the boiling point of the water in the radiator?
Yes
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
What happens when you put water in your antifreeze container?
You dilute your antifreeze. If you buy prediluted 50/50 antifreeze, then you'll dilute it more than you're supposed to. If you buy straight 100% antifreeze, you're actually supposed to dilute it yourself by adding an equal amount of water to the antifreeze you put it. Your vehicle will be fine. Stop freaking out. Get a coolant flush.
When adding Prestone antifreeze to a Chevy Cavalier 1999 do you need to add water also?
Yes. Never add pure antifreeze. Pure antifreeze will actually freeze before a 50/50 mix. Add coolant that is a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. You can buy it already pre-mixed.
What will happen if you put water in the coolant by mistake?
My engine coolant is a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water so adding water will just dilute the mixture more and weaken the antifreeze so the coolant mixture will freeze at a warmer temperature and it will reduce the corrosion protection if there is not at least 40 % antifreeze
What is the effect of adding 70 gallons of antifreeze to 26000 gallons of pool water?
Enviromentally, not so good. And why would anyone consider do such?
Should the engine be cool or running when adding antifreeze?
Your engine should be cold ( to be on the safe side) when adding antifreeze/coolant. i let the car sit overnight and then add it.
Is it safe to top off a radiator with water?
Water can be used in an emergency but there is no corrosion protection like a mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water ( until the corrosion protection in the antifreeze is " worn out " ) Also , adding just straight water will dilute the antifreeze so the temperature at which the mixture freezes will not be as low
A student wishes to test the hypothesis that adding antifreeze to water lowers the freezing point of the water What would be the dependent variable?
The dependent variable would be the freezing point of the solution.
Do you keep your car running when adding antifreeze?
( NO ) with the engine cool
When adding coolant to 1997 Jeep Laredo do you mix it with water?
Antifreeze should be a 50/50 mix with water. If you bought pure coolant, mix with water. If you bought premix (already 50/50) pour in straight.
What is the better coolant for a car engine antifreeze or water?
Always use antifreeze. Water does not have any water pump lubricants or anti corrosion properties, antifreeze coolant does.
