What does adding antifreeze to water do?

It lowers the freezing point.


Which facts about the use of antifreeze illustrates a rule that governs the physical world?

Antifreeze keeps water from freezing when it is cold out. The antifreeze liquid lowers the freezing point of the water. Even when freezing (to a slurry) it does not form solid ice that can rupture the radiator. The antifreeze combines the water to form a liquid with a lower freezing point than water alone.


How does antifreeze keep the water in your radiator from freezing and overheating?

It changes the freezing and boiling point.


What colligative property is responsible for antifreeze?

The colligative property responsible for antifreeze is freezing point depression. Adding antifreeze (such as ethylene glycol) to water lowers the freezing point of the solution, preventing the liquid from freezing at lower temperatures.


Does antifreeze have a lower or higher freezing point than water?

Antifreeze has a lower freezing point than water, typically around -37 degrees Celsius (-34 degrees Fahrenheit), making it effective for preventing water from freezing in cold temperatures.


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


When antifreeze is added to water the freezing point of the water is what?

It drops to about 12 degrees Fahrenheit.


How can antifreeze be used in a toilet to prevent freezing?

Antifreeze can be added to a toilet to prevent freezing by mixing it with water in the tank or bowl. This helps lower the freezing point of the water, preventing it from solidifying in cold temperatures.


How antifreeze affects the freezing point of water?

It lowers the temperature where the mixture will freeze


What is antifreeze?

Antifreeze is a substance such as glycol which is used to lower the freezing point of water, and is used as an additive in the radiators of motorcars.


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.
