A mixture of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and water is used as an antifreeze in cars. However, it is not just to keep the radiator from freezing but also to keep it from boiling over when hot. If a mixture is made with 500.0 mL of ethylene glycol (density = 1.11g/mL) and 500.0 mL of water (density = 1.00g/mL) what will the boiling point be of the mixture? Assume that water is the solvent with a boiling point constant of kb =0.512
