Measurement and Synthesis in the Chemistry Laboratory

Using a variety of techniques and substances that are familiar in everyday life -- they engage readers/students in such activities as synthesizing a substance, finding the composition of an ore sample, checking the effectiveness of an antacid, etc. Each well-structured, illustrated lab features background information, a theoretical framework for the experiment, necessary mathematical derivations, a summary and checklist of general laboratory activities, step-by-step procedures, safety precautions, and pre-and post-lab exercises and report forms (on tear-out pages). Several appendices cover common laboratory operations and statistical treatment of data.Peck, Larry is the author of 'Measurement and Synthesis in the Chemistry Laboratory' with ISBN 9780023598357 and ISBN 0023598352.
