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 (also called ethylene glycol) is used in radiators (not windshield washer fluid) because it raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of water.
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.
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.
Why is ethylene glycol added to water in radiator during summer?

Why don't car radiators rust?
car radiators used to be made of copper, copper doesnt rust. most radiators are now made from aluminum.aluminum also does no rust
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.
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.
Which car manufacturers use cast iron radiators?
Almost all car manufacturers have used cast iron radiators at one time or another, however most are now made of an aluminum alloy that can cool the water intake quickly.
What coolant for rx7?
In just about any car including the Mazda Rx-7, ethylene glycol based coolant is recommended. This is the most common coolant found at your local automotive store. A 50/50 mixture with distilled water is best.
