An equation that describes the maximum and minimum temperatures at which a chemical compound is in a liquid state is given by the absolute value equation |T - 50 |= 50, where T is the temperature in degrees Celsius. Calculate the range in temperature, and identify the chemical compound.

1 answer

T - 50 = 50 ... T = 100

T - 50 = -50 ... T = 0

liquid between 0ºC and 100ºC ... looks like water ...H2O
