To protect their crops during freezing temperatures, orange growers spray water onto the trees and allow it to freeze. In terms of energy lost and energy gained, explain why this practice protects the oranges from damage.

When water freezes, it is an exothermic change. The oranges absorb this energy which is an endothermic change and do not freeze.
