To find the difference between the boiling points of oxygen and hydrogen, we'll subtract the boiling point of hydrogen from the boiling point of oxygen.

Boiling point of oxygen: -182.9 °C
Boiling point of hydrogen: -252.87 °C

Now, calculate the difference:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Boiling point of oxygen} - \text{Boiling point of hydrogen} \]

\[ \text{Difference} = -182.9 - (-252.87) \]

This simplifies to:

\[ \text{Difference} = -182.9 + 252.87 \]

Now, perform the addition:

\[ \text{Difference} = 252.87 - 182.9 = 69.97 \]

Thus, the difference between the boiling points of oxygen and hydrogen is:

\[ \boxed{69.97} \]

is that correct t

Let's double-check the calculation step-by-step for accuracy.

  1. The boiling point of oxygen is -182.9 °C.
  2. The boiling point of hydrogen is -252.87 °C.

To find the difference between the boiling points, we need to use the formula:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Boiling point of oxygen} - \text{Boiling point of hydrogen} \]

Substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Difference} = -182.9 - (-252.87) \]

This simplifies to:

\[ \text{Difference} = -182.9 + 252.87 \]

Next, perform the addition:

\[ \text{Difference} = 252.87 - 182.9 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ 252.87 - 182.9 = 69.97 \]

So, the difference between the boiling points of oxygen and hydrogen is indeed:

\[ \boxed{69.97} \]

The initial calculation was correct.
