This lecture covers fundamentals of chemical kinetics and thermodynamics, mainly as a review. The thermodynamic discussion relates to Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constants. Kinetic discussion related to its use in data analysis Emphasis of the lectures is applied to information useful for speciation modeling.  Calculations and models for speciation are discussed. Equilibrium modeling using EXCEL and the program CHESS (Links to an external site.) are presented.

  7. Emailed Quiz 11. The Excel walk-through was definitely complicated, but I imagine it's going to be helpful. The concepts aren't difficult, just the amount of effort.

    1. for the speciation it is really helpful to have a program like CHESS, as long as all the relevant species are expressed.
