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 ( high, low ) 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 ( breaking, forming ) hydrogen bonds before the
water molecules increase their motion and the temperature increases. Conversely,
when water is cooled, many H bonds are ( formed, broken ), which ( releases, absorbs ) a significant
amount of heat. This ( release, absorbsion ) of heat can provide some protection against freezing
of the plants’ leaves, thus protecting the cells from damage.
