Laboratory Manual for Principles of General Chemistry

Get your hands on the chemical world! Through six previous editions, Jo Beran's LABORATORY MANUAL FOR PRINCIPLES OF GENERAL CHEMISTRY has consistently excelled in the laboratory. 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 900f the Prelaboratory Assignment Questions and Laboratory Questions are either new or revised. Learn fundamental chemical principles: Prelaboratory Assignment Questions emphasize the chemical principles presented in the Introduction of the experiment. Representative calculations, data analysis, and points of emphasis required for the completion of the Experimental Procedure are also addressed in the Prelaboratory Assignment. Master basic laboratory techniques: Lab techniq ues are covered in the front of the manual. Technique icons in the margins of the text indicate the time and situation to apply the appropriate technique. Explore "what if" scenarios: Laboratory Questions focus on the "what if" of nearly every part of the Experimental Procedure. These questions promote a deeper understanding of the experiment and where the chemical principles can be used for interpreting unexpected data or "turning points" in the experiment. Be aware of immediate safety procedures: Safety icons indicate safety cautions and provide information regarding the correct disposal of test solutions.Beran, Jo Allan is the author of 'Laboratory Manual for Principles of General Chemistry', published 2004 under ISBN 9780471214984 and ISBN 0471214981.
