Antifreeze, typically made of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, has a higher boiling point than water. While water boils at 100°C (212°F) at standard atmospheric pressure, a mixture of antifreeze and water can have a boiling point ranging from approximately 107°C to 115°C (225°F to 239°F), depending on the concentration of antifreeze. This elevated boiling point helps prevent overheating in engines and other systems.

What temperature does antifreeze boil?

At approximately 198 degrees Fahrenheit.


How does antifreeze affect the freezing point of water?

it lowers the temperature by forming hydrogen bonds that allow it to melt and boil faster


Why do you add antifreeze to the coolant?

coolant is a mixture of antifreeze and water (usually 50/50) If you were to use just water, you would not have either freeze protection or overheat protection. Water freezes at 32 degrees. Antifreeze could protect engine to -20 to -30 degrees. Water (with no pressure) will boil at 212 degrees. Antifreeze will delay "boil-over" to a much higher temperature (I am not sure of number)


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.


What can happen if you use straight antifreeze in your radiator?

If your use anything more concentrated than about half anitfreeze and half water, the radiator water will freeze at a considerably warmer temperature. There will be less protection. Also, antifreeze actually helps keep your car running cooler in summer. If you use straight antifreeze, the car will "boil over" at a much lower temperature. There will be less protection.


Does drinking water boil at a lower temperature than salt water?

Yes, drinking water does boil at a lower temperature than salt water.


What temperature does water boil in a car radiator?

A 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol antifreeze in the cooling system will boil at 225 degrees if the cap is open. But as long as the system is sealed and holds pressure, a radiator cap rated at 15 psi will increase the boiling temperature of a 50/50 coolant blend up to 265 degrees. If the concentration of antifreeze to water is upped to 70/30 (the maximum recommended), the boiling temperature under 15 psi of pressure goes up to 276 degrees.


How can you boil water at a temperature lower than 100 celsiuse?

Place the container of water in a vacuum & it should start to boil at room temperature.
