What else can I help you with?
Is ethylene glycol used as antifreeze in car coolant?
Yes, it is.
Why in chemical terms is anti-freeze added to car windscreen wash?
Antifreeze is added to car windscreen wash to lower the freezing point of the liquid. This prevents the solution from freezing in cold temperatures, which can damage the system and obstruct vision during driving. Antifreeze typically contains chemicals like ethylene glycol or propylene glycol that are effective in preventing freezing.
Is there a chemical that can be added to water to allow ice to form at temperatures higher than 32 degrees?
Yes, antifreeze compounds like ethylene glycol or propylene glycol can be added to water to lower its freezing point below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing ice to form at higher temperatures. This is commonly used in car radiators and industrial systems to prevent freezing in cold weather.
If ethylene glycol has a density of 0.958 which car would be better prepared for cold weather car A with a radiator fluid density of 0.976 or car B with a radiator density of 0.989?
0.976
What antifreeze for Mazda rx-7?
50/50 ethylene glycol and distilled water just like pretty much every car.
Is antifreeze element or compound or mixture?
Antifreeze is typically a compound. It often contains ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, along with other additives to help lower the freezing point of the liquid in a car's cooling system.
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
Why is water used in car radiators?
Water isn't used in car radiators, radiator fluid is. that is used because it is a liquid of the right density to hold radiated heat from the radiator and pass it around the car where it is needed.
Is propylene glycol in toothpaste harmful?
Would you brush your teeth with anti-freeze from your car's radiator? Absolutely NO, WHY include this ingredient in toothpaste if it is considered harmful?? You are confusing PROPYLENE Glycol with ETHYLENE Glycol. Propylene glycol is not toxic. Ethylene glycol is the substance in engine coolant which will damage internal organs, especially the kidneys. Check out the MSDS for both substances for further information.
Why is ethylene glycol added to water in radiator during summer?
Ethylene glycol is added to water in the radiator during summer to act as an antifreeze and coolant. It helps prevent the water in the radiator from freezing in cold temperatures, while also raising the boiling point of the coolant to prevent overheating in hot weather.
What chemicals are used to remove ice from airplanes?
Usually ethylene glycol, the same as the main ingredient in car anti-freeze. Answer Prior to take-off, airplanes are sprayed with a de-icing agent that melts any ice on the airplane and its wings but it will not re-freeze. Once in the air, many airplanes are equipped with electric heaters or devices that blow heated air over the leading edge of the wings and prevents wate from freezing on it.
Does salad dressing have anti freeze?
No - antifreeze is a specific chemical (ethylene glycol) used in car radiators to prevent the heat diffusions system from freezing in winter. However, you will notice that salad dressing doesn't freeze at 0 C (32 F) like water will. This is because salad dressing has oil (usually olive oil or another vegetable-based oil) and a number of solutes (seasonings, etc.) that disrupt the bonds between the water molecules. Because of this, salad dressing has to get much colder than water before it will freeze.
