About your course materials

The seventh edition of this superb lab manual offers 36 class-tested experiments, suitable for introductory, preparatory, and health science chemistry courses and texts, including INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY: AN ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH, Fourth Edition by Cracolice and Peters. Experiments in this lab manual teach students to collect and analyze experimental data and provide them with a strong foundation for further course work in general chemistry. This edition offers instructors a wide variety of experiments to customize their laboratory program, including many microscale experiments. All experiments can be completed in a three-hour laboratory period. As in the Sixth Edition, there are Work Pages for each experiment as well as Report Sheets for students to take notes and record experimental data and results, which facilitate instructor grading of experiments.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enroll in or join my course?

Your instructor will tell you how to access your course. You may join through your school’s LMS, a course link or a course key. If you’re unsure which method to use, check with your instructor.

How do I redeem an access code, or what if my code isn't working?

Sign in to your Cengage account and select Enter Access Code or Course Key, then enter your access code and select Register. If your code is damaged, missing or still doesn't work, contact Cengage Support.

Why can't I access my course?

How you access your course depends on how your instructor set it up. Start from your LMS, course link or course key. If you've purchased access but still can't open the course, Cengage Help can help you troubleshoot your access.

Where can I find my eBook or textbook?

You can access available eBooks from your Cengage student dashboard or from your Cengage course. If your class uses an LMS, your instructor may also provide access there.

What if I don't have access to my course materials yet?

Temporary access may be available for some Cengage courses. If offered, you can use your course during the grace period and purchase or register your access code before it ends. Options for expired access vary by product.

About this product

The seventh edition of this superb lab manual offers 36 class-tested experiments, suitable for introductory, preparatory, and health science chemistry courses and texts, including INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY: AN ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH, Fourth Edition by Cracolice and Peters. Experiments in this lab manual teach students to collect and analyze experimental data and provide them with a strong foundation for further course work in general chemistry. This edition offers instructors a wide variety of experiments to customize their laboratory program, including many microscale experiments. All experiments can be completed in a three-hour laboratory period. As in the Sixth Edition, there are Work Pages for each experiment as well as Report Sheets for students to take notes and record experimental data and results, which facilitate instructor grading of experiments.

Duplicate Work Pages and Report Sheets for each experiment offer a convenient and efficient way for students to record their data as they work and yield clean, easy-to-grade reports.

Advance Study Assignments, to be completed before performing the experiments, require students to read the experiment before executing the lab, thus enabling them to complete the experiment in a safe and timely fashion.

Sample Calculations are presented to acquaint the student with the type of calculations they will be required to perform for the experiment.

The lab manual features a variety of experiments for inorganic and organic chemistry so that it may accompany many different chemistry textbooks from introductory inorganic chemistry to allied health chemistry.
