More Description

This manual offers qualitative and quantitative laboratory exercises that serve the needs of a one-year general chemistry program. Our motivation is founded in the belief that laboratory studies are an essential part of undergraduate education. Specifically, students learn how to perform essential laboratory techniques such as weighing, titration, and informed calculations based on experimental data. Moreover, integral to each exercise is the development of professional conduct including approaches to safety rules, chemical disposal and storage, organization, and neatness in laboratory operations. The laboratory text has many innovative features including but not limited to well-developed introductory material on:CONTENT:? Laboratory safety, laboratory equipment and techniques, and the mathematical treatment of data.? Choice of 22 different laboratory exercises including quantitative and qualitative experiments extensively tested at Tuskegee University, University of the Virgin Islands, Southern University Baton Rouge and Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. ? An abbreviated qualitative analysis scheme, particularly good for departments contemplating a forensics program.? Pre-laboratory exercises for each laboratory experiment to prepare the student prior to entering the laboratory.? Locate and price equipment and chemicals for each experiment (available in the Instructor's Guide (thumb drive format) for easy online access).? URLs for MSDS information, and for the chemical education literature for each laboratory exercise ? An updated periodic table with the latest approved IUPAC element designations.? Choice of 9 data tables located in Appendices.SPECIAL FEATURES:? Optional safety goggles. ? Optional laboratory apron.? URL to the chemical education literature. ? URL to the safety data (MSDS, SDS).
