ENST 375 - Aquatic Chemistry

0.5 or 1 unit(s)

(Same as CHEM 375) This course is a qualitative and quantitative treatment of chemical processes in atmospheric, aqueous, and soil environments. Geochemical cycles of major and trace elements through these reservoirs are explored including the magnitude of anthropogenic perturbations. General topics include isotope geochemistry, equilibrium thermodynamics, solubility and precipitation, acid-base equilibria, oxidation-reduction chemistry, and remediation of organic and inorganic pollution. Alison Keimowitz.

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 245; PHYS 113, PHYS 114; MATH 121, MATH 126 and MATH 127 or the equivalent; or permission of the instructor.
