What you’ll be able to do

  • Identify important types of aqueous-phase chemical reactions

  • Use thermodynamic concepts to determine whether aqueous-phase chemical reactions can proceed and, if so, the extent to which they can proceed

  • Use graphical methods to solve ionic equilibrium problems

  • Use modern numerical tools to solve water chemistry problems

  • Explain the relevance of water chemistry concepts to their thesis research
