    The Harber Process has a history with fertilizers and explosives. Ammonia from certain plants were more expensive to use in fertilizers than the ones that came from other products of other reactions. During WW2, an increase of demand led to cheaper and more efficient methods. Ammonia in the US is the second most important chemical, as nitrogen makes number…

    Eco Column Lab Report

    This lab is an opportunity to observe, study, and learn about ecosystems and how the environment sustains life but in a much simpler and smaller scale which is called Eco Columns. The environmental conditions in the Eco Column could sustain life for several weeks, therefore over the course of the several weeks we will observe and study the interconnections between each ecosystems. A self sustaining requires components such as energy flow and chemical cycle. This experiment will evaluate our knowledge on the phosphorus, carbon, nitrogen, and water cycle. For example; the water cycle is needed to stabilize the water needs of each organism in the ecosystem; the carbon cycle makes up the living tissues, absorbed by plants through photosynthesis and released during decomposition and organisms breathing; the nitrogen cycle uses bacteria to continue the process of nitrification, roots absorb it, and organisms use it in the form of NO3; the phosphorus cycle are found in rocks which bring nutrients to the soil. In this experiment our goal is to make our eco column the most efficient and make it the ideal environmental conditions for the organism to survive using data, for example we know what levels of nitrite is too high therefore we are going to change the water if the levels of nitrite is too high.…

    In the simulation “Managing Environmental Concerns and Resources,” the scenario took place in Eastern Europe, in a Casadonia city named Keywich. The main concern of Keywich’s City Council is the increasing population of the town and the negative effects it can have on the economy, environment, culture and society. In the past Keywich was a regular recipient of the Casadonia Greenbough Award for being one of most environmentally-friendly cities in the country. City council is concerned that due to the increase of pollution the city will lose the title as well as hamper the development of the city in the long run.…
