The boiling point elevation and freezing point depression of solutions have a number of partical applications. Ethylene glycol `(CH_(2)OH-CH_(2)OH)` is used in automobile radiatiors as an antifreeze because it lowers the freezing point of the coolant. The same substance also helps to prevent the radiator coolant from boiling away by elevating the boiling point. Ethylene glycol has low vapour pressure. We can also use glycerol as an antifreeze. In order for the boiling point elevation to occur, the solute must be non-volatile, but no such restriction applies to freezing point depression. For example, methanol `(CH_(3)OH)`, a fairly volatile liquid that boils only at `65^(@)C`, is sometimes used as an antifreeze in automobile radiators.
Which among the following is the most volatile and the best antifreeze?

Options

A. `CH_(3)OH`
B. `C_(2)H_(5)OH`
C. Glycol
D. Glycerol

Answer

A
