Thermodynamics and chemistry of mineral solutions : Common base L1: Natural and Life Sciences

Abstract

The real objective of this course is to study chemistry in solution. Indeed, by reading this manual, the student will be able to make all the calculations and interpretations necessary for a good understanding of the phenomena in solution. It will also enable him to acquire a basis to understand the mechanisms governing the equilibria in aqueous solutions. When a chemical transformation takes place, the transition from the initial state to the final state occurs more or less low rate depending on the nature of the reaction chemical and the experimental conditions in which it is achieved. Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the dependence of properties physics of substances at temperature, phenomena where heat exchanges occur, and transformations of energy between different forms.
