Molding a shape from soft, malleable material (clay or plaster) or constructing a shape from harder material (such as metal or paper). Molding is what a child does with Play-Doh or origami.

Complete question is;

Molding a shape from soft, malleable material (clay or plaster) or constructing a shape from harder material (such as metal or paper) is called what?

Modeling

Explanation:

In chemistry, we have a branch called modeling chemistry. In modeling, we organize together a series of models instead of a collection of topics. In this approach, we will begin with a phenomena that can be readily observed and are gradually develop the simplest model of matter that helps us make sense of our observations.

Now in the question, we are Molding a shape from soft, malleable materials like clay/plaster or constructing from harder materials like metal/paper. This means that we are organizing a series of models from either soft & malleable or harder materials to produce a simple model shape.

Thus, this is simply modeling.

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.
