Concept explainers
To Explain: The fruit growers spray their tress with water to protect the fruit from freezing when frost is expected.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Latent energy is the heat absorbed or released during phase change from liquid to solid or solid to liquid etc.
When frost is expected, farmers spray water because when the temperature drops, the water releases latent heat to the environment while freezing, which helps the fruit from freezing.
Conclusion:
Sprayed water releases latent heat on freezing which is absorbed by the fruit.
