No. temperatures a a measure of motions of particles. As particles slow down the substance gets cold. As a substance gets warmer the particles speed up. Cold is not a thing that you can place on a substance.

A solution get warmer as you add a new substance to it because that causes a reaction which causes energy, that energy is transfered to heat energy so there fore it gets warmer.(i may not be completely right but im pretty sure that is why) B.M.H age 13

That is an ENDOTHERMIC reaction. It absorbs heat, rather than giving off heat. The instant cold packs in first aid kits use this property- they contain ammonium nitrate and water- which get cold when combined.

This is known as an endothermic reaction, where the reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings, causing the temperature to decrease.

Something can get colder when you add a warmer substance to it if it produces an endothermic reaction. Endothermic reactions are ones where heat is absorbed.

Thermal energy is transferred from from regions of hot to regions of cold. When thermal energy is transferred from one thing to another, the particles in that matter move more causing heat.
