How do the properties of water contribute to its use as a coolant in car radiators?

Water alone is not recommended. It should be mixed 50/50 % (minimum) with antifreeze. This mixture helps transfer heat, keeps corrosion under control, lubricates water pump and keeps the coolant from freezing in cold climates.

Why is water used as a coolant in car radiators?
Water is used as coolant in car radiators because it has high specific heat capacity of 4200 Joules. It has the highest specific heat capacity than any other substance. That is why it is used as coolant in car radiators
Is antifreeze added to car radiators to lower the freezing point of water?
Yes. The antifreeze/coolant also raises the boiling point and has lubricant and anti corrosive properties.

What are the properties of radiator liquid and what is the liquids in radiators?
Liquids in radiators are usually water & oil. The properties of these are that they heat up fairly quickly and store energy for a long time, releasing heat energy slowly. This makes the radiator effective in what it is designed to do.
Can water be used as an engine coolant?
Yes and no. Water is an excellent coolant but does not have all the properties of antifreeze. Water provides no freeze protection or corrosion resistance.
What is the better coolant for a car engine antifreeze or water?
Always use antifreeze. Water does not have any water pump lubricants or anti corrosion properties, antifreeze coolant does.
How do the properties of oil water and glycerol compare to others used in radiators?
Properties of oil, water, and glycerol compare to others used in radiations are very different because of their different density, flows, and material make ups.
How does the shape of the water molecule contribute to its solvent properties?
The cause is the polar character of water molecule.

Engine Coolant for a 2005 suzuki drz400?
Suzuki shop manual says ethylene glycol antifreeze designed for aluminum radiators. Mix 50:50 with distilled water.
What are the properties of coolants?
Coolant has these properties... it absorbs heat from the engine, which is why you put it in there it also has a lower freezing and higher boiling point than water it inhibits corrosion and lubricates the water pump
