Question

The melting temperature of tin is about 231˚ C and the melting temperature for oxygen is about -218˚ C. What is the difference in the melting temperatures for tin and oxygen?

a.144
b.13

Answer 1

`D = 512^\circ`

Explanation:

Given

`Tin=231^\circ`

`Oxygen=-218^\circ`

Required

The difference in their melting points

This is calculated as:

`D = |Oxygen - Tin|`

`D = |-281^\circ - 231^\circ|`

`D = |-512^\circ|`

`D = 512^\circ`

The difference is 512 degrees
