PLEASE ANSWER

Describe this graph.

A. Positive Association
B. Negative Association
C. No Association

Explanation:

Negative association is when the independent and dependent variables move in opposite directions: if the dependent variable increases, the independent variable decreases, and if the dependent variable decreases, the independent variable increases.

As you see in the diagram, as you move to the right on the horizontal axis, meaning that the independent variable is increasing, the points lie lower, meaning that the independent variable decreases.

Therefore, if you draw a line of best fit, it will have a negative slope. A negative slope indicates negative association.

The graph certainly shows association as there is a clear trend; else the points would be randomly dispersded.

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.
