How do you appreciate the role of the higher specific heat of water in stabilizing atmospheric temperature during winter and summer seasons?

K_(f) for waer is 1.86 K kg mol^(-1) . If your automobile radiator holds 1.0 kg of water, how many grams of ethylene glycol (C_(2)H_(6)O_(2)) must you add to get the freezing point of the solution lowered to -2.8^(@)C ?

These questions consists of two statements each, printed as Statement-I and Statement-II. While answering these Questions you are required to choose any one of the following four responses. Statement-I: Addition of ethylene glycol(non-volatile)to water lowers the freezing point of water hence used as antifreeze. Statement-II: Addition of any substance to water lowers its freezing point.

During summers in India, one of the common practice to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice, dip it in flavoured sugar syrup and sip it. For this a stick is inserted into crushed ice and is squeezed in the palm to make it into the ball. Equivalently in winter, in those areas where it snows, people make snow balls and throw around. Explain the formation of ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of P - T diagram of water.
