the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.

the ratio of the conjugate base to the acid required to attain the desired ph.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
