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
Why engine smokes and smells after adding antifreeze to 2001 Audi?
Have you spilt some on the radiator?
Where do you put antifreeze in a 97 Nissan Altima?
PUT IT IN THE RADIATOR. MAKE SURE YOUR ENGINE IS COOL AND USE THE DRAIN COCKPIT LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR RADIATOR TO DRAIN ENOUGH OF THE FLUID TO ACCOUNT FOR HOW MUCH ANTIFREEZE YOU ARE ADDING.
Why does adding salt to water increase its boiling point?
This is a colligative property.
You removed the petcock from your radiator but it wont drain?
remove bottom radiator hose to drain system. flush system a few time before adding antifreeze.
Adding a nonvolatile solute like antifreeze to the radiator of a car blank the concetration blank the freezing point?
increases, and lowers
How can the boiling point of a liquid be raised without adding soluble impurity?
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, or the pressure above the liquid. So, to increase the boiling point without adding a solute, one can increase the pressure above the liquid.
What affect does salt have on boilin water?
Adding salt to water the boiling point increase.
What effect does adding a solute have on a boiling point of a solution?
Adding a solute to a solution, or some liquid, causes the boiling point to increase. Think about water, sometimes people throw salt in their water when they're boiling noodles. This causes the boiling point to increase so the water is actually at a higher temperature (although most of the time the amount of salt added isn't nearly enough to cause any measurable change).

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
