Photosynthesis is the process by which plants effectively capture energy from the sun and store it for later use by organisms. It's the fundamental process that enables the entire food chain. Actual photosynthesis is a highly complex process involving many steps and many different chemicals, but we can get an idea of what's happening to thermodynamic quantities (enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, and entropy) using simpler reactions. Let's consider a toy model in which an input of energy (for example from...

Consider the environmental damage that results from the emissions of coal-fired power plants. These plants produce pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx), which combine with hydrogen to make acid rain. They release mercury into the environment and emit other particulate matter such as soot, as well. Which of these externalities are highly localized, and which are borne by society at large? Explain
