This course builds on the principles introduced in CHEM 105, with an emphasis on chemical equilibrium and analysis, and their role in the chemistry of the environment. Topics include chemical reactions in aqueous solution with particular emphasis on acids and bases; solubility and complexation; electrochemistry; modeling of complex equilibrium and kinetic systems; statistical analysis of data; and solid state chemistry. The laboratory work includes additional experience with instrumental and noninstrumental methods of analysis, sampling, and solution equilibria.

This course has a required co-requisite laboratory - CHEM 205L.
