Overview

This lab manual offers a modern approach to the two-semester general chemistry laboratory course. It contains over 37 labs that cover all the topics commonly taught in the course. Each experiment contacts extensive background and procedure outlines to give students a solid conceptual background before completing the lab. Every lab experiment in the manual follows the same approach: 1. Title of the experiment; 2. Objectives; 3. Introduction; 4. Background; 5. Overview; 6. Procedure; 7. Pre-lab Exercise; 8. Post-lab work; 9. Appendix. - A standard table of contents allows this manual to be adapted to any textbook on the market, including all three McGraw-Hill general chemistry texts. - The manual takes a collaborative learning approach, allowing more work to be done within the allotted time, while also allowing greater interaction among students. - A strong emphasis on the scientific method within the experiments presented makes it easier for students to make the connection between the experiment and the concepts the experiment is designed to teach.
