Water within the natural environment both drives and supports a complex web of chemical and biological processes and populations. This course covers several topics in the area of natural water chemistry including: dilute aqueous solution chemistry of surface and groundwater systems; chemical kinetics and equilibrium; acid-base chemistry; coordination chemistry; precipitation, dissolution and complex formation; carbonate, phosphate and chlorine chemistry; oxidation-reduction reactions and corrosion; and solution of multi-equilibria problems. In addition, biological processes and populations will be explored by this course, including microorganism dynamics. EXCLUSION: CIVL-885*
