Overview
This proven lab manual offers a unique blend of laboratory skills and exercises that effectively illustrate concepts from the main text, CHEMISTRY FOR TODAY: GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOCHEMISTRY, 8th and 9th Editions. The book's 15 general chemistry and 20 organic/biochemistry safety-scale laboratory experiments use small quantities of chemicals and emphasize safety and proper disposal of materials. 'Safety-scale' is the authors' own term for describing the amount of chemicals each lab experiment requires -- less than macroscale quantities, which are expensive and hazardous, and more than microscale quantities, which are difficult to work with and require special equipment.
- UPDATED to use the standard treatment for counting trailing zeros when determining significant figures.
- ACCURATE AND CLASS-TESTED. Includes 15 general chemistry and 20 organic/biochemistry safety-scale laboratory experiments -- all thoroughly class-tested -- that effectively illustrate the main text's key concepts.
- A KEY CONCEPT FOCUS: The manual's blend of laboratory skills and exercises illustrate key concepts from the main textbook.
- BUILT-IN PEDAGOGY: Pre-lab questions prepare students for each lab, and end-of-experiment questions assess student understanding.
- FLEXIBLE AND CONVENIENT. The manual is three-hole punched and features perforated pages, making it easy for students to hand in lab reports and answers to pre- and post-lab questions and exercises upon instructor request.
