Answer:

Antifreeze is whats used to keep your engine cool without freezing.

Step-by-step explanation:

it keeps the engine from overheating.

It also prevents corrosion.

Here is a quote from google "Antifreeze works because the freezing and boiling points of liquids are “colligative” properties. This means they depend on the concentrations of “solutes,” or dissolved substances, in the solution. A pure solution freezes because the lower temperatures cause the molecules to slow down"

That quote is from "The Science Behind Antifreeze"
