Question

the melting point of mercury is -39°C. the freezing point of alcohol is 114°C. How much cooker is the melting point of mercury than the freezing point of alcohol?

Answer 1

This is one of those cases where you have to believe that a minus times a minus is a plus.

114 - - 39 = 153 degrees. The freezing of mercury is 153 degrees cooler than the freezing point of alcohol. I would check your descriptions. Did you mean boiling point of Alcohol?
