For a two-semester General Chemistry laboratory. This laboratory manual contains thirty-three chemistry experiments designed to introduce 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 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.
