The correct answer is - sudden static charge could damage sensitive medical equipment.

Explanation:

Staff members of a hospital or medical institution wear special shoes that are able to prevent static charge as they walk. These shoes help to prevent static charge as we know that the sudden transfer of a static charge to medical equipment may alter the reports or damage sensitive equipment. This type of static charge is negative or positive due to electronic devices touches the device leads to damage of electric devices.

Thus, the correct answer is - sudden static charge could damage sensitive medical equipment.

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.
