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! )

Sasha has just gotten a new job in a nearby city. after comparison shopping, she found that renting a nice two-bedroom apartment would cost around $800 per month. her utilities would cost about $150 per month. sasha has enough money saved for a down payment, and she found that she can buy a three-bedroom house or condo with a mortgage payment of $1,000 per month, including taxes and homeowner's insurance. her utilities would cost about $200 per month. what is the advantage of buying the house over renting the apartment?
