    Base your answers to questions 9 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    Fruit growers in Florida protect oranges when the temperature is near freezing by spraying water on them. It is the freezing of the water that protects the oranges from frost damage. When H2O(ℓ) at 0°C changes to H2O(s) at 0°C, heat energy is released. This energy helps to prevent the temperature inside the orange from dropping below freezing, which could damage the fruit. After harvesting, oranges can be exposed to ethene gas, C2H4, to improve their color.
