Summary

This remarkably popular lab manual has won over users time and time again with its exceedingly clear presentation and broad selection of topics and experiments. Now revised and fine-tuned, this new Seventh Edition features three new experiments: Water Analysis: Solids (Experiment 3); Vitamin C Analysis (Experiment 16); and Hard Water Analysis (Experiment 30). In addition, nearly 90% of the Prelaboratory Assignment Questions and Laboratory Questions are either new or revised.
