Question description PLEASE USE THE TEMPLATE PROVIDED You now live in a world where geographic boundaries cease to exist when it comes to goods, services, and even food. Most people think nothing of having freshly squeezed Florida orange juice or New Zealand kiwis for breakfast; even those who live in New York City with 10-inches of snow on the ground in the middle of January. In this age and time, everything and anything is available for consumption year-round at a local grocery store if you have the financial means. Although it may be an “unintended consequence,” these conveniences can come with potentially major ecological and economic impacts that are both positive and negative. For example, the coffee you drink may come from beans imported from Columbia, the sugar you use may come from India, or the steaks you sear on the grill may have come from Argentina. How much fuel was spent transporting these products across the ocean? Were any pesticides used? If so, was it done in a sustainable fashion? Were forests cleared to make room for grazing herds or larger agricultural fields? These are just a few of the many questions that should be considered when making selections at the grocery store.

Please be sure the meal has a minimum of four ingredients. For example: 1.Beef steak, baked potato, butter, and 2% milk. 2.Eggs scrambled with cheese, strawberries, and coffee. 3.Peanut butter, grape jam, white bread, and potato chips. Address the following questions as you write your Assignment: 1.Meal analysis: Discuss the events and methods of production that allow major grocery chain stores to carry these items.1.Source identification: If you were to purchase each item at a major grocery chain store, where would these items be sourced? For example, where were the fruits or vegetables grown, or meats raised immediately prior to sale? Do not discuss the history or origin of the item (e.g., corn or maize originated in Mexico around 2500 BC.). 2.Farming and labor practices: What farming methods were likely used to grow these items, and how do these methods impact the environment around the farms as well as the employees who work within these establishments? 3.Packaging, processing and shipping: Were the items grown and shipped in from another country? What types of processing and packaging must take place in order for you to be able to purchase the product? 2.Economic and ecological analysis of food choice: Discuss the ecological and economic advantages and disadvantages of purchasing food items that are locally sourced versus those shipped from other areas of the country and from around the world. Use your assigned Reading for this unit, as well as supplemental sources, to explore the impacts our food purchases may have on the environment and economy and how these choices influence multiculturalism and diversity around the globe. 3.Applying food choice to Think Globally, Act Locally: The food choices people make have the potential to generate both local and global impacts and potentially serve as solutions to some of the challenges discussed so far. This concept can be summarized in the phrase “Think Globally, Act Locally.” Discuss:◦How you would interpret this phrase based upon your meal analysis. For example, if you were to follow the suggestions shared within the articles provided above, where could you obtain the items (name specific local places within your community)? If a food item is not available locally, is there an alternative that you could use as a substitute? ◦How your individual actions can serve as a possible solution through the choices you make when planning and buying meals might change in the future. ◦How your choices, when combined with those of others, can have a global impact.

Chemistry IILaboratory 3 Procedure – Chemical EquilibriumBackground:Chemical equilibrium is dynamic condition that plays an important role in our life since many of food metabolism processes are controlled by equilibrium. A variety of industrial processes are based on the chemical reactions that do not proceed to completion. It is important to know how to manipulate such reactions in order to obtain the maximum amount (yield) of theproduct.Chemical equilibrium can be disturbed by variety of factors: change of regents' concentrations, removal of the products, or change of the temperature, just to name a few.In this lab, we will study the Le Chatelier's Principle through the observation of the effect of disruptions (such as concentration or temperature) applied to the following reaction, by analyzing its color changes:[Co(H2O)6]+2 + 4Cl- ↔ CoCl4-2 +6H2OFigure 1: [Co(H2O)6]+2 forms a pink complex, and CoCl -2 is a blue complex.Cobalt (II) does not exist in aqueous solution as a free ion, however it forms a pink complex with six water molecules. In the presence of chloride ions, different complex is formed, the blue CoCl4-2.There are few objectives of this lab:1. To enhance your ability to apply Le Chatelier'sPrinciple.1. To improve your understanding of the equilibriumconstant.2. To analyze the responses of the equilibrium constant to the perturbations such as change of concentration ortemperature.Before you start this laboratory assignment, you are encouraged to review Section 14.1-14.3 and14.6 on page 487 in the textbook. Throughout this laboratory assignment, you will be required to perform and thoroughly document your calculations pertaining to the stoichiometry associated with the reaction above. Be sure to record all observations and any relevant notes that you think you will need to include in your laboratory report.Take a moment to formulate and write down a hypothesis describing how the addition of chloride ions, distilled water and silver nitrate will affect the equilibrium of this reaction?Pre-Lab Questions:1. State the La Chatelier'sPrinciple.2. Write the equilibrium constant for the reaction in Figure1.(Note: You are encouraged to use the MS Word equation editorto construct the equilibrium constant for later use in your report.)Procedure:Preparing the Lab I1.

After you record your data, clear the workbench but do not close the virtuallab!Data Analysis19. Before completing this lab, you will need to conduct a thorough analysis of your data in order to answer the mandatory questions below. You will need to include yourresponses to these questions in your written report in the appropriate section(s). You can use the virtual lab to investigate answers to thesequestions.a) Imagine the following scenario: a student doing the experiment added 20 mL of silver nitrate, AgNO3, to the blue equilibrium mixture. The reactionmixture become pink and cloudy with white precipitate of silver chloride , AgCl, appearing in the bottom of the flask.Can you explain how those observations are consistent with Le Chatelier's principle?b) Imagine the scenario: A student placed pink equilibrium mixture in the hotwater. Reaction mixture changed color toblue.Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?How the change of the temperature influences the equilibrium of this reaction? Explain.NotesThis section should include notes about any observations or datacollected during the lab.
