Topics: • Introduction to thermodynamics; concept of equilibrium; thermodynamic systems; thermodynamic states and processes; properties of gases and liquids; • Laws of thermodynamics and derivation of important state variables (e.g., H, S, F, G); • Phase equilibria in homogeneous systems and the phase rule; • Solutions, ideal and non-ideal solutions; • Electrolyte solutions; • Equilibrium constant; • Redox reactions and equilibria; • Carbonate equilibria in natural waters. • Geochemical thermodynamic data bases and modeling Course requirements and determination of grade: Problem sets (homework) -- 25%: There will be about 10 problem sets. Mid-term exam -- 25%: Will be scheduled for mid-October. Final exam -- 25%: Covers material since the mid-term. Paper -- 25%: On a thermodynamic topic not described in the texts; expect an original analysis of a topic from the literature (preferably related to your research interests) or a comprehensive review of a significant topic.
