- Course objectives
- The basic aim of the course is explanation of priciples determinig stability of natural systems and factor influncing rate of natural processes. At the end of course the student should be able to determine conditions at which the system will be stable and the conditions at wich system will have tendecy to change its state.
- Learning outcomes
- Student will be able to: - understand the difference between static and dynamic systems and characterize differences in their behavior - characterize the differences between the thermodynamic equilibrium and the stationary state of the natural systems - identify causes of changes in natural systems - describe the dynamics of basic geochemical processes - build dynamic models of simple geochemical systems
- Syllabus
- Principles Changes Phase stability and phase transitions Systems with constant composition Systems with variable composition Electrochemical systems Thermodynamic description of mixtures Chemical equilibrium Chemical reactions Ion behavior in solutions Oxidation and reduction Dynamics Molecules motion Rate of chemical reactions Kinetic of complex reactions Dynamic of reaction on solid surfaces Surface properties of colloid systems Growth of solid phases Adsorption Catalysis Rate of electrochemical reactions Dynamics of large systems
