Question

Why do we use water as a cooling agent in the radiators of automobiles?
One Line Answer

Solution

Water has a high specific heat capacity. So, water extracts much heat without much rise in temperature.  By allowing water to flow in radiator pipes of the vehicles, heat energy form such parts is removed. Hence, it is used as a cooling agent in the radiators of automobiles.
