CHM 351 - Environmental Chemistry

Institution:

Wesleyan College

Subject:

Description:

Goal To understand the chemical phenomena behind environmental aspects of atmospheric, water and soil systems. To evaluate the equilibrium between air/water and soil/water interfaces to give students insights into current anthropogenic impacts on biogeochemical cycling. To establish correct field sampling techniques and analysis methods for environmentally affected areas. Content This course will focus on advanced chemical aspects of environmental issues ranging from energy content, ocean/atmosphere equilibrium, contaminant transport, and organism storage mechanisms. A specific focus will involve an in-depth analysis on the effect of concentration and pH on soil, water, and atmospheric systems. The laboratory component will involve field sampling experiments combined with instrumental and analytical methods in a traditional laboratory setting. Taught Spring, alternate years. Prerequisite CHM 101, CHM 102, and CHM 206 (or BIO 203); or permission of instructor. Credit 4 hours, cross-listed as ESC 351.
