In an experiment it was found that the total charge on an oil drop was 5.93 X 10^-18 C How many negative charges does
the drop contain? (#51)

37 negative charges.

Explanation:

We're being asked to determine how many negative charges a drop contains from an oil drop experiment where the total charge was 5.93x10-18 C. The drop contains 37 negative charges.

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.
