Sustainability outcome: Explain the interconnectedness of environmental, social, and economic systems in the context of chemistry. Content outline The unaltered climate Climate vs. weather, climate change vs. climate variability Understanding systems with scientific models Historical climate from data (atomic structure and isotopes) Composition and structure of the atmosphere (composition, nature of gases) Known interactions between matter and radiation;(radiation principles, types and interactions with atoms and molecules) The planetary energy budget, solar radiation, and the greenhouse effect Water: properties and effects on climate, land and oceans (properties of water, phase changes, energy absorbance and release, thermal expansion) What changes have occurred as a consequence of human activity? How do we know? Carbon fuels and carbon dioxide (chemical change, combustion reactions, thermochemistry) Other anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions Ocean acidification (acid-base theory, pH, acid-base chemistry) What needs be done about it? The scale of the problem (sources and sinks, dimensional analysis, stoichiometry) Analysis of potential solutions: alternative fuels, individual vs. collective action Required materials An appropriate text may be required.
