The elemental charge is the magnitude of charge, in Coulombs, that each electron or proton has. Because electrons have a negative charge, don't forget to add a negative sign into the equation.
When you convert the answer to microcoulombs, the answer is 
:

Because we're talking about electrons, the answer must be negative. The way to solve this is to find how many electrons are in 1.5 kg of water. First, we need to convert kilograms of water into grams of water:
Then, we can use the provided molar mass of water to calculate the number of moles of water in 1.5kg of water:
Once we know how many moles of water we have, we can use Avogadro's number (
) to calculate how many molecules of water are in 83.33mol.
Once we know how many molecules of water we have, we can multiply by 10 to figure out how many electrons those molecules represent, since we are told that each water molecule has 10 electrons.
Finally, we can multiply by the provided charge of an electron to calculate the charge of those electrons.

Because this is a neutral balloon, the net charge is equal to the charge the was removed, but opposite in sign. There were 16,000 electrons removed, each of which has a charge of 
. Therefore, the total charge that was removed is:
To answer the question, we must remember that if that much charge was removed from the balloon, the balloon will now be negative.
