----------Answer--------
Chlorine-based compounds play an important role in all of our lives. Ethylene glycol, or antifreeze, is one product of chlorine chemistry. While ethylene glycol (C2H6O2 ) itself does not contain chlorine, it can be produced from ethylene chlorhydrin, which is a compound that includes chlorine in addition to three other building block elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen (C2H5OCl).
Antifreeze lowers the freezing point of any liquid to which it is added by preventing ice crystals from forming properly. This experiment will illustrate how ethylene glycol keeps our car engines running during the winter months. Specifically, students will explore the effects antifreeze has on the freezing point of water.
