About this title

From the Publisher

This book offers an extensive selection of experiments and demonstrates the fundamental principles of chemistry within the framework of familiar and interesting chemical systems.

From the Back Cover

This laboratory manual contains thirty-three chemistry experiments designed to introduce readers/students to the world of chemistry and to teach them general and specific laboratory skills. Using a variety of techniques and substances that are familiar in everyday life — they engage readers/students in such activities as synthesizing a substance, finding the composition of an ore sample, checking the effectiveness of an antacid, etc. Each well-structured, illustrated lab features background information, a theoretical framework for the experiment, necessary mathematical derivations, a summary and checklist of general laboratory activities, step-by-step procedures, safety precautions, and pre- and post-lab exercises and report forms (on tear-out pages). Several appendices cover common laboratory operations and statistical treatment of data.
