Credits: 3
Offered by: Earth & Planetary Sciences (Faculty of Science)
This course is not offered this catalogue year.
Description
The basic concepts and calculations needed to quantitatively understand the geochemical processes occurring between minerals and waters in Earth’s near-surface environment. The important concepts of thermodynamics and kinetics will be
exemplified using examples that concentrate on reactions between minerals and water and their impact on the environment.
- Prerequisites: CHEM 110 or some familiarity with the basic principles of the periodic table (high school/cegep general chemistry is acceptable), or permission of the instructor
