Ideal Gases-The Anthropogenic N2 cycle: Gas Phase Reactions Essential to Food and Life
Contributors
Summary
The ACS green chemistry education module consists of 3 units (including lectures, activities and homework assignments) that uses the anthropogenic N2 cycle, focusing on the Haber-Bosch process, to teach students to ideal gas concepts. Students also practice visualizing the life cycle impacts of chemicals by drawing a Systems Oriented Concept Map Extension diagram (SOCME) of the anthropogenic nitrogen cycle.
Using the Haber-Bosch process as the core subsystem, students explore the impacts of ammonia and ammonia-derived fertilizers in the environment and the hazards they present when not properly managed. Students will also explore alternative scenarios using renewable feedstocks for the production of ammonia. This module focuses on three out of the 12 guiding principles of green chemistry: prevent waste, use renewable feedstocks, and accident prevention.
The learning object link takes you to the ACS GCI website to download the learning materials. Once there, use the Module Overview document to guide you through using these impactful learning materials.
This module was developed by Amy Chu and Vaso Lykourinou for the green chemistry educational module project with the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute.
