Aqueous ethylene glycol is commonly used in car radiators as an antifreeze and coolant. A 50% ethylene glycol solution in a radiator has a specific heat capacity, c, of 3.5 J/gC. If a 4.0 kg quantity of ethylene glycol absorbs 250 kJ of thermal energy, what was the temperature ciange, AT, of the solution? Assume the radiator is a closed system.
