Answer:

The enthalpy of formation of water is -285.8 kJ/mol inferred that, the formation of 1.0 mol of water releases 285.8 kJ.

Explanation:

  • The sign of enthalpy (ΔH) indicates the type of the thermochemistry of the reaction:

If ΔH is negative, the reaction is exothermic.

If ΔH is positive, the reaction is endothermic.

∵ ΔH is negative.

So, the reaction of formation of water is an exothermic reaction (releases heat).

The enthalpy of formation of water is -285.8 kJ/mol inferred that, the formation of 1.0 mol of water releases 285.8 kJ.
