(a)
Interpretation:
The pros and cons for the food which is local and organic has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Foods can be categorised as organic and non-organic fooditems. The pecularity of organic foods is that the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides are being avoided in the growing period. The use of organic and local food also causes less negative enviornmental impacts.
There will be difference in food cost, quality and energy consumtion while comparing the organic and non-organic foods.
In-order to reduce the carbon foot print, the use of organic and locally produced food has to be increased.

- Summarize each certification (I.e., what does it mean and what are the qualifications to receive this certification/approval/seal --in your own words): 1)USDA Organic 2)COSMOS Organic Certified 3) COSMOS Natural Approved 4) EWG Certified 5) Upcycledarrow_forwardI understand there is a broad list of ethanol-induced adverse effects on individuals resulting from a broad range of complex interactions between physical, genetic, environmental, behavioral, and social factors. From a health/science perspective, there are many pathologies that result from the consumption of alcohol. My book gives examples of, liver alcohol disease may start with a fatty liver, then progress to alcoholic hepatitis, and then to alcoholic cirrhosis. In alcoholic cirrhosis, damage from repeated and excessive alcohol abuse results in scars in the liver. As a result, the body can’t produce enough proteins or filter toxins out of the blood as it should. But .....what is the best way you can explain why drinking ethanol damages the liver? if you can please break it down in steps?arrow_forwardAccording to USDA Organic, What are the standards for how cosmetics and personal care products are certified? Are there specific grades or amounts of certified ingredients required to receive the certification?arrow_forward
- Which one of the following statements is not true to the green chemistry philosophy? * A- Maximising the atomic economy. B - The use of high temperature to increase reaction rate. C- Minimising the amount of solvent used in syntheses. D- Restricted use or elimination of toxic reagents. E- The above statements are all true to the green chemistry philosophy.arrow_forwardWhen a compound containing CC, HH, and OO is completely combusted in air, what reactant besides the hydrocarbon is involved in the reaction? Express your answer as a chemical formula including phase.arrow_forwardThe organic lab program generates around 200 liters of non-halogenated organic waste every week. A student accidentally added some halogenated organic waste to a waste container that entered the non-halogenated waste stream. The cost to dispose of 1.000 liter of non-halogenated organic waste is $20.27 The cost to dispose of 1.000 liter of halogenated organic waste is $89.71 Due to the error, how much extra money will it cost to dispose of 210.9 liters of the waste that week?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements does not describe natural rubber? A. It is a copolymer. B. Isoprene is the monomer. C. It may be sticky unless it has been vulcanized. D. It is a homopolymer. E. It can be made from the sap of a certain tree.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the BOD test is FALSE? The standard test for BOD is the five-day (BOD5) test carried out in the dark at 20 °C There is an indirect correlation between the BOD5 value and the level of organic pollutants. BOD test measures the oxygen consumed by microorganisms as they break down organic material BOD test is a simple anarrow_forwardHow might hazardous wastes be converted to safer forms?arrow_forward
- Consider a mixture of two alkanes, namely Propane C3H8 and Dodecane C12H26. Calculate the ratio of grams of CO2 emitted per gram of fuel input for each of the following mixtures of these two alkanes: a. The mass of propane and the mass of dodecane are each 50% of the total mass. b. The moles of propane and the moles of dodecane are each 50% of the total moles of fuearrow_forwardYou ask the individual if they are taking any non-prescription drugs. They tell you they recently started taking a coenzyme Q10 supplement based on a recommendation from a friend. The structure of coenzyme Q10 is shown below. Looking at the structure of the molecule, which one of the 4 major classes of macromolecules (carbohydrate, lipid, proteins or nucleotides) does it most closely resemble? Be sure to include specific chemical characteristics that support this decision.arrow_forwardCombustion requires three primary components: fuel, energy, and an oxidizer. The fuel is the organic starting material and once the activation energy is achieved, large amounts of energy are rapidly released fragmenting reactants into individual atoms. The components quickly rearrange into smaller and more stable molecules. Oxygen serves as an oxidizer, due to its electronegativity, accepting electrons and forming products including water and carbon dioxide. Nitroguanidine (CH4N4O2) is used in select fertilizers and more commonly as a component to propel munitions. Suppose a field artillery soldier was calculating how much nitroguanidine was needed to propel a round. The soldier would need to consider the desired volume of gas to displace along the gun tube and the ambient operating conditions. a. Predict the reaction products for the detonation of 1 mole of nitroguanidine. b. Calculate the amount of explosive needed (in pounds) to produce 1500.0 liters of gas at standard temperature…arrow_forward
