Two chemicals X and Y are stored in a freezer in a laboratory at -6 degrees Celsius
:
a. In an experiment chemical X is heated until its temperature rises by 15 degrees Celsius.
Find the new temperature of chemical X.
-6 + 15 = +9
:
b. In another experiment chemical Y is cooled until its temperature fall by 12 degrees Celsius.
Find the new temperature of chemical Y.
-6 - 12 = -18
:
c. Calculate the difference between the final temperature of chemical X and Y.
Please explain
+9 - (-18) = 9 + 18 = 27 degrees difference
