Learning outcomes
|
Students are introduced into problematics of chemical equilibria in solutions. The basic types of acid-base, precipitation, complex-forming and oxidation-reduction reactions, together with influencing effect of side reactions, are discussed. Theoretical background for calculation of distribution diagrams, constants and oxidation-reduction potentials for abovementioned types of reaction is presented.
Students passing through the course can describe and solve complex computations of equilibrium systems.
