Originally published in 1950, this textbook was intended for school students with the aim of providing an introductory understanding of chemistry. The book introduces physical chemistry through multiple and diverse experiments; each experiment designed to reinforce a new topic and reflect theorems, approaches and historical development. Notably, the treatment throughout is from the point of view of the kinetic-molecular theory rather than that of the laws of thermodynamics, whilst emphasis is also placed upon physico-chemical phenomena and their significance in various branches of science, such as metallurgy, chemical syntheses and mineralogy. There are twelve chapters in total, with chapter titles ranging from 'Atoms and molecules' to 'Mass action and the ionic dissociation theory'. Various diagrams and plate sections are also included for reference. This book will be of value to chemistry students and scholars as well as those interested in the history of education.

Classic guide provides intriguing entertainment while elucidating sound scientific principles, with more than 100 unusual stunts: cold fire, dust explosions, a nylon rope trick, a disappearing beaker, much more.

The straightforward, time-tested General Chemistry Laboratory Experiments is appropriate for two-semester general chemistry courses at the college level. Our Chemistry Laboratory Series is designed to actively engage your students in the process of learning how to be curious, precise, and safe in the laboratory. Our manuals are clearly written, engagingly illustrated, and affordably priced to make sure that your students’ first experiences in the laboratory provide a solid foundation for their future studies.

Kobrak s Laboratory Manual: General Chemistry for the Health Professions is intended to accompany a one semester survey course in general chemistry as part of a pre-nursing or related health professions curriculum. The experiments cover a range of topics, but are connected by a common theme of quantitative measurement and a close connection to chemical theory. The book is intended for use with, Introduction to General, Organic & Biochemistry, by Bettelheim et al., and includes reference to the sections of the text appropriate to each experiment to help students solidfy the connection between theory and experiment. However, each experiment includes an extensive theoretical introduction that is self-contained, making the book easy to use in any context and providing reinforcement for more conceptual course material.

Inquiry-Based Experiments in Chemistry is an alternative to those "cookbook" style lab manuals, providing a more accurate and realistic experience of scientific investigation and thought for the high school chemistry or physical science student.".
