Water chemistry introduces the principles and use of calculations of equilibra in aquatic systems.
Contents
Water chemistry introduces the principles and applications for chemical equilibria in aquatic systems. The course includes weak and strong single- and multiple acid- and base systems, including calculations on such complex systems. Titration curves and buffer properties will be discussed. The equilibria between gas and liquid phase (e.g. for CO2 ) will be included. The equilibria between metals selected complex formers will be discussed.
