The subnet id identifies which smaller network within a larger network (the subnetted network) the packet should be delivered to. The subnet id is part of the extended network prefix which is used for routing.

Why is the address 172.31.255.255 with a sub net mask of 255.255.255.0 invalid as a host ID?

because that is the last number of the subnet. the last number in a subnet is used as the broadcast domain. the first number is also not usable. an example would be: id 192.168.20.XX subnet 0f 255.255.255.128 192.168.20.0 and 192.168.20.127 may not be used and 192.168.20.128 starts the next subnet making 192.168.20.128 and 192.168.20.255 not usable
