This book effectively conveys the key concepts of equilibrium chemistry, particularly as they apply to natural and engineered aquatic systems. The coverage is rigorous and thorough, but the author assumes little prior knowledge of chemistry on the part of the readers, and writes in a style that is easily accessible to students.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Intermediate Aquatic Chemistry Book,
This review is from: Water Chemistry (Paperback)
This is the intermediate level water chemistry book and is a good text book to both learn and teach from. Benjamin's "Water Chemistry" is more comprehensive then Drever's "The Geochemistry of Natural Waters" but less comprehensive then Stumm and Morgan's "Aquatic Chemistry." The intended audience is upper level undergraduate or the first year graduate student, and assumes the reader already has a grasp of basic chemical concepts and thermodynamics. Chemistry majors will find the most of the material easy while students who are weak in chemistry will find it incredibly hard to follow. If you are more interested in geology and mineral geochemistry try Drever's "The Geochemistry of Natural Waters." If you are looking for a water chemistry book with more specific applications try Stumm and Morgan's "Aquatic Chemistry." Mark Benjamin's "Water Chemistry" book is a happy medium between the two and can be used as a reference.

not for entry level students,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Water Chemistry (Paperback)
the author of this book assume you have well-taught chemistry background therefore most of the solutions to example problems are simplified, the charts are confusing and hard to understand, many of the chemistry related constants provided in this book are incorrect... if you didn't score an A in chemistry II, it's not likely to be able to get through the book without the guidance of your professor.

Good for teaching,
This review is from: Water Chemistry (Hardcover)
The book is good for teaching particularly for undergraduate student who have basic knowledge of chemistry. I used it as the main reference book for one of the courses that I teach in the field of water chemistry. I am surprise to read that the book is complicated although I faced this problem with my students.
