Study Notes
Carbon Dioxide and Energy Release
- Combustion of carbon dioxide (CO2) releases 394 kJ of energy per mole formed from carbon and oxygen.
- The energy released is comparable to the sound of 394,000 pears dropping from one meter height.
- Methane (CH4) combustion results in a greater energy release than the energy required to break reactants, constituting an exothermic reaction.
Exothermic Reactions and Agricultural Practices
- In an exothermic reaction, products have lower energy than reactants, enabling energy to be utilized in agriculture.
- Wine growers light container fires to warm grapevines and prevent freezing during frost events.
Combating Frost with Ice and Water
- Farmers often spray crops with water to form a mixture of water and ice, which provides insulation against frost.
- Maintaining a mixture at 0 °C (32 °F) can protect buds from dying due to cold temperatures.
Phase Changes and Temperature Regulation
- Frost occurs when water vapor deposits directly as a solid on surfaces when temperatures fall below freezing, bypassing the liquid phase (deposition).
- Plants largely consist of water, which expands upon freezing and can burst cell structures, causing crop damage.
Historical Technique in Cranberry Farming
- Daniel James “DJ” Crowley proposed using overhead sprinklers to protect cranberry crops against early frost in 1920, effectively creating a protective layer of ice.
- Water and ice together maintain a stable temperature of 0 °C (32 °F), guarding crops from freezing temperatures.
Intermolecular Forces and Bonding
- Phase changes are influenced by intermolecular forces, primarily hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) in water.
- H-bonds are significantly weaker than intramolecular bonds (covalent bonds) within individual water molecules.
Benefits of Ice in Frost Protection
- As H-bonds form during water freezing, they release heat, which helps keep encased fruit warm.
- Continuous wetness of ice around fruit maintains temperature above freezing.
Methods of Heating Orchards
- High-powered gas heaters can heat the air in orchards to combat frost, often using jet-like blowers or upright heaters.
- Alternative heating methods include using barrels lit with small wood fires throughout orchards and vineyards.
Combustion Reactions Overview
- Combustion reactions involve burning carbon-based fuels, leading to changes in chemical composition and breaking of intramolecular bonds.
- Energy is required both for breaking bonds in reactants and for the subsequent formation of new bonds during the reaction.
Energy Dynamics in Reactions
- Energy must initially be absorbed by reactants (activation energy) before the overall reaction can release energy.
- Visualization of activated reactions compares pulling apart stuck magnets, which requires energy input.
