Question 18

Question
QUESTION: In agricultural areas, farmers pay close attention to the weather forecast. Right before a predicted overnight freeze, farmers spray water on crops to protect the plants. Use the properties of water to explain how this method works. Be sure to mention why hydrogen bonds are responsible for this phenomenon. ANSWER: Due to intermolecular hydrogen bonds, water has a [blank_start]high[blank_end] specific heat (the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of water by 1°C). When water is heated, much of the heat is absorbed in [blank_start]breaking[blank_end] hydrogen bonds before the water molecules increase their motion and the temperature increases. Conversely, when water is cooled, many H bonds are [blank_start]formed[blank_end], which [blank_start]releases[blank_end] a significant amount of heat. This [blank_start]release[blank_end] of heat can provide some protection against freezing of the plants’ leaves, thus protecting the cells from damage.
