LESSON 1
GOALS |
| The goal of this
lesson is to briefly review some of the important principles
of thermodynamics that will be required in the course. These
include the concepts of chemical equilibrium, activity and
the equilibrium constant. |

LESSON 3
GOALS |
| In this lesson,
the carbonate system will be discussed in detail as it
applies to natural waters. You will become familiar
with the various equilibria that govern the behavior of
carbon dioxide, bicarbonate and carbonate in natural waters.
The concepts of alkalinity and acidity will be introduced.
Capacity diagrams and calculations will be employed to
understand the consequences of mixing of two or more waters
for the pH of natural waters. |
