Because antifreeze is made up, mostly, of non-polar molecules. Water is made up of the polar molecule H2O. A slightly negative charge on the oxygen end and a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen end. This forms many temporary hydrogen bonds between the molecules of water which impedes their massive vibration ( which is what heat is ) and allow a high vaporization point also. Antifreeze has no such bonds and easily begins vibrating massively with the application of energy.
In general, water in a metal can will freeze quicker than in a plastic bottle. This is because metal is a better conductor of heat than plastic, allowing the heat to escape more rapidly from the water in the metal can and causing it to freeze faster.
Heat invariably speeds up reactions. Heat is actually kinetic energy at the molecular level, so in this case, it dissolves quicker because water molecules are colliding more (and with more force) with the sugar cube.
Yes, food with higher water content generally freezes faster because water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it can transfer heat more efficiently and freeze quicker than foods with lower water content.
Hot water mixes with food coloring faster than cold water. The heat increases the speed of molecular movement, allowing the food coloring to disperse quicker and more thoroughly.
Ice cubes that are in water are in full contact with a liquid medium with high rate of heat transfer. in soda, some of the surface of the ice is in contact with gas bubbles that have low rate of heat transfer. Liquid transfers heat (melting the ice) faster than air.
During the summer your engine would actually run hotter because antifreeze has a lower specific heat than does water. (That means a pure antifreeze solution will act as a better insulator than water---less heat will be transferred through the pure antifreeze solution.) Even during the winter, a 100 percent antifreeze solution isn't a good idea. A pure antifreeze solution actually provides less protection against freezing than does a mix solution.
Yes, gold conducts heat faster than water due to its higher thermal conductivity. This means that gold will heat up more quickly when exposed to a heat source compared to water.
A mixture of 50% water and 50% antifreeze will transfer heat better than straight antifreeze and still protect the system from freezing up to at least 34 degrees below zero F.
Volkswagen or any other vehicle shouldn't use any antifreeze. If any car is using antifreeze something is wrong.
This depends on whether you mean evaporates due to heat or its volatility. if you mean due to heat, then obviously water, as the forces holding the molecules together are much stronger in hydrocarbons compared to standard water molecules.
Oil has a lower specific heat capacity than water, meaning it requires less energy to heat up. Additionally, oil is less dense than water, allowing it to circulate more easily and absorb heat more efficiently. These factors combined make oil heat up faster than water.
Antifreeze is typically denser than water, so it will sink when added to water.
50 / 50 mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water usually ( Ford says not to have less than 40 % antifreeze and not more than 60 % antifreeze )
Water is a good convector of heat so as the surface warms, the heat is passes to the lower portions of water. Sand does not convect or conduct heat well so the surface gets hot fast as the sun shines on it
Antifreeze, specifically ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, is generally denser than water. While the density can vary depending on the specific formulation, most antifreeze solutions are heavier than water, which has a density of about 1 g/cm³. Therefore, antifreeze tends to sink in water rather than float.
it does melt it quicker i checked
Diffusion of heat from land is quicker than water. thus temperature of air on land flactutes faster than in the ocean.
