If you get it cold enough, yes. But it does not obsorb heat very well by itself, and that is the purpose of the liquid cooled engine. To keep our engines cool, we could use just water if we lived in a place that never got below 32 deg. Water transfers heat very well but expands when frozen. This will crack engine blocks. That is why we use antifreeze.

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.

Why does antifreeze freeze?

Depending on the kind of antifreeze it is, it will freeze at different temperatures. If it is strait antifreeze it will not freeze until very cold temperatures, but if it is 50/50 or if you add water to it, it will have a higher freezing point.

Why doesn't antifreeze freeze?

Actually, antifreeze will freeze. It just freezes at a much lower temperature than ordinary water. But it can freeze, and the chemical structure of antifreeze is such that the molecules will not change state (liquid to solid -- freeze) except at the very lowest temperatures. A lot of thermal energy must be removed from antifreeze to cause the molecules to "hook up" and the stuff to change state into a solid. It's based on the nature of the chemical structure of antifreeze.

What is the problem with not using antifreeze on your car?

If it gets cold enough the coolant will freeze and crack the block if there is no antifreeze.


Is dry ice capable of freezing antifreeze?

Dry ice can freeze antifreeze, as dry ice is extremely cold at around -78.5°C (-109.3°F. When placed in contact with antifreeze, which typically has a lower freezing point, the antifreeze will freeze as it absorbs the cold energy from the dry ice.
