Summary

Laboratory Manual to accompany Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eighth Edition contains 42 experiments for the standard course sequence of topics. the author has taken care to make each experiment workable while encouraging readers to use critical thinking. Experiment format provides clear instructions and evaluation. Each lab begins with a set of goals, a discussion of the topics, and examples of calculations. Experiments relate to basic concepts of chemistry and health and are designed to illustrate chemical principles, often using common materials that are familiar to readers.
