This comprehensive lab manual contains a high number of experiments without sacrificing organizational clarity and now includes new categories on Energy, Kinetics, and Equilibrium. All experiments have undergone significant testing before being finalized, and many microscale experiments have been added to allow more efficient and cost-effective means of conducting experiments. This new edition features an increased number of experiments, including microscale.
