The problem in the image asks for the change in temperature of a solution, given the initial and final temperatures.

### Given:
- Initial temperature = \(-2^\circ \text{C}\)
- Final temperature = \(24^\circ \text{C}\)

### To find:
The change in temperature, which is the difference between the final and initial temperatures.

### Solution:
\[
\text{Change in temperature} = \text{Final temperature} - \text{Initial temperature}
\]
\[
\text{Change in temperature} = 24^\circ \text{C} - (-2^\circ \text{C})
\]
\[
\text{Change in temperature} = 24^\circ \text{C} + 2^\circ \text{C} = 26^\circ \text{C}
\]

Thus, the change in temperature is **26°C**.
