To help prevent frost damage, fruit growers sometimes protect their crop by spraying it with water when overnight temperatures are expected to go below the freezing mark. When the water turns to ice during the night, heat is released into the plants, thereby giving them a measure of protection against the falling temperature. Suppose a grower sprays 7.64 kg of water at 0°C onto a fruit tree.
(a) How much heat is released by the water when it freezes?
(b) How much would the temperature of a 175-kg tree rise if it absorbed the heat released in part (a)? Assume that the specific heat capacity of the tree is 2.5 x 103 J/(kg C°) and that no phase change occurs within the tree itself.

(p. s. please don't round at all while finding the answer, when possible, because the site i input into only allows for a very very small % error :( thanks! )

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?
