Chemical
Equilibrium
|
| Overview |
| This
week we will be taking a rapid tour through the subject of
thermodynamics - an important tool that permits us to make
predictions about natural waters, assuming that equilibrium is
attained. I do not expect you to become an expert in
thermodynamics after one week of study. However, I do expect
you to be able use the tools of thermodynamics covered in
the lecture material below, and to solve the relatively
simple problems illustrated in the lectures and example
problems. |
| Objectives |
