Learning outcomes of the course unit

Successful completion of the course students

1. will acquire knowledge, which is necessary prerequisite for the application of both in scientific and in technical practice
2. will learn in depth the chemistry of low concentrated aqueous solutions, which is essential for the understanding of all the processes that take place in natural waters (oxidation, reduction, sorption, pH changes as a result of changes in carbonate balance, etc.).
