A mixture of alcohol and water is used instead of water in radiators of vehicles in cold countries. Reason: Alcohol is used as antifreeze because it has freezing point below 0oC. Normally water freezes at 0oC. In cold countries the temperature is much lower than freezing point of water

Answer:
we know that a mixture of alcohol and water is used instead of water in radiators of vehicles in cold countries. This is because alcohol is used as antifreeze because it has freezing point below 0oC. Normally water freezes at 0oC. In cold countries the temperature is much lower than freezing point of water. If ethanol is not added to water, it will freeze in radiator. Moreover, a mixture of alcohol and water does not corrode the material of the radiator.
