CHEM-5141 (3) Environmental Water and Soil Chemistry

Application of basic chemical principles to understanding the processes that determine the chemical composition of oceans, lakes, rivers, soils, and sediments. Topics include air-water exchange; acid-base, redox, coordination, precipitation and dissolution, ion exchange and sorption reactions; nutrient chemistry; and the use of simple equilibrium and kinetic models for describing the chemistry of inorganic and organic species in air-water-soil systems. Same as CHEM 4141. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
