3 Groundwater geochemistry - Vancouver Island University

3 Groundwater geochemistry In this section we will look at the general chemical characteristics of groundwaters, and at some of the geochemical processes that are important in the chemical evolution of water that flows through the ground – including

Naming Rules for Organic Compounds

Alkynes - compounds containing carbon-carbon triple bonds 1) Are named and numbered like alkenes. Add "yne" to root name. Aromatic Hydrocarbons - Compounds containing benzene-like rings 1) Benzene is the simplest aromatic compound containing cyclic structure of six carbons with a total of three double bonds. benzene NOT 1,3,5-cyclohexatriene ...

UNITS OF CONCENTRATION

Concentrations expressed as ppm and N are less familiar to most students at this stage. Parts per million: The number of milligrams of solute per kg of solution = one ppm, since 1 mg = 10-3 g and 1 kg = 103 g. Assuming the density of water is 1.00 g/mL, 1 liter of solution = 1 kg and hence, 1 mg/L = 1 ppm.

UNITS OF CONCENTRATION

Normality is a somewhat dated concentration unit that is still encountered in may texts and lab manuals. It has advantages when carrying out titration calculations, however it can be confusing for the uninitiated. Normality is defined as the number of equivalents of solute per liter, and as such, is similar to Molarity.

Principles of GW Flow - Vancouver Island University

Principles of groundwater flow Hydraulic head is the elevation to which water will naturally rise in a well (a.k.a. “static level). Any well that is not being pumped will do for this, but a well that is created especially for measuring hydraulic head is known as an observation well a monitoring well or a piezometer. For unconfined

The Structure of the Earth, Plate Tectonics and Landforms

Craton: an old and stable part of the continental lithosphere. Having often survived cycles of merging and rifting of continents, cratons are generally found in the interiors of tectonic plates.
