About this title

From the Back Cover

This manual is organized and written to be understood by wide range of readers through discussions that apply chemistry to everyday life. Presented in an easy-to-follow, compact format, the manual also addresses concerns of personal and environmental safety. The book incorporates four major adjustments into all procedures: microscaled laboratory tests; the substitution of non-hazardous materials; some procedures converted to individual observations; and eliminating procedures of limited value. Each exercise opens with: objectives; estimated completion time; and materials. Each chapter also contains: background material; pre-laboratory assignment; the experimental procedure; data sheets; reflective exercises; and a review section. A valuable resource for any reader interested in the interaction of chemistry in our daily lives.
