Does adding antifreeze to a car radiator increase the boiling point of the water in the radiator?

Yes


What is the use of a radiator cap in an engine?

To raise the boiling point of the coolant.


What can antifreeze do to the boiling point of the water in a car's radiator?

Antifreeze raises the boiling point of water in a car's radiator by reducing the vapor pressure of the coolant mixture. This helps prevent the engine from overheating by allowing the coolant to operate at higher temperatures before boiling.


Why is Water Boiling in radiator?

Water may boil in a radiator due to high engine temperatures, low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, or a malfunctioning radiator cap. When the cooling system is unable to regulate the engine temperature effectively, the water in the radiator can reach its boiling point and create steam. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent engine damage.


Can radiator cap cause overheating?

If the cap is not holding pressure or if it is damaged, the engine will overheat. The automotive cooling system must be pressurised, WHY?? its because when you pressurise the fluid, the boiling point will increase.


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

It changes the freezing and boiling point.


Why does water in a radiator not boil until 110 degrees is reached?

Water boils at 100 degrees C. Using a radiator cap, the system holds pressure, raising the boiling point (Just like your grandmother's pressure cooker). Using the correct coolant mix of water and antfreeze also raises the boiling point.
