If I raise the Celsius scale by 15 degrees, how
much will I be raising it in the Kelvin Scale?

If the change is +15 degrees Celsius, the change is +15 Kelvin (note that it's not degrees Kelvin, just simply Kelvin). You can use the conversion, which is 273.15 Kelvin = zero degrees Celsius. Since it's a relative scale, 10 C = 274.15 K, and 20 C = 275.15 and so forth.

a) the particles of the chair are strongly held together.

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
