Experiments in General Chemistry: Featuring Measurenet

Innovative and self-directed, EXPERIMENTS IN GENERAL CHEMISTRY: FEATURING MEASURENET, 2nd Edition prepares students for the laboratory setting by asking them multi-component questions, building their knowledge from previous experiments, and incorporating the innovative MeasureNet network data collection system into the manual. MeasureNet improves the laboratory experience by requiring smaller amounts of chemicals for experiments�making the lab safer and more environmentally friendly�and greatly increasing precision through its electronic data collection, analysis, and reduction features.
