A car owner who knows no chemistry has to put antifreeze

Chapter , Problem 13.102

(choose chapter or problem)

A car owner who knows no chemistry has to put antifreeze in his cars radiator. The instructions recommend a mixture of 30% ethylene glycol and 70% water. Thinking he will improve his protection he uses pure ethylene glycol, which is a liquid at room temperature. He is saddened to find that the solution does not provide as much protection as he hoped. The pure ethylene glycol freezes solid in his radiator on a very cold day, while his neighbor, who did use the 30/70 mixture, has no problem. Suggest an explanation.
