Can Anti-Freeze Freeze? Investigating its Freezing Point for a College Project

AI Thread Summary
Anti-freeze can freeze under certain conditions, typically at temperatures below its freezing point, which varies based on its composition. Researching the chemical properties and freezing points of different antifreeze formulations is essential for the project. Designing an experiment to test antifreeze's freezing point can provide practical insights. Understanding the main solvent and solute concentrations in antifreeze is crucial for accurate analysis. Utilizing colligative properties equations may also help in determining the freezing behavior of the solution.

I am doing a project for college, and need to find out if anti-freeze can freeze and when.
I have no idea how to go about finding out if it is possible so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks :)

Well, two obvious ideas spring to mind.
(1) Do a search (e.g. at your library, or on the internet) to find information about antifreeze
(2) Design an experiment to determine what you seek

What have you tried so far?

P.S. homework-type questions should go into the homework forums.

What is the main solvent in antifreeze? What types of solutes are there and in what concentrations?

Could you employ the equations of colligative properties for the solution of antifreeze?
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
