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.

In the past two decades, microscale techniques have soared in popularity because these techniques minimize exposure to potentially dangerous chemicals in the lab, drastically cut the amount of chemical waste, lower costs, and reduce risks of chemical fires and explosions. The result is a safer and healthier laboratory environment. Now, with Microscale General Chemistry Laboratory with Selected Macroscale Experiments, Second Edition, you can bring these techniques into your own chemistry lab. Thoroughly revised with updated experiments, the new Second Edition continues to offer a large variety of well-designed, easy-to-follow experiments, as well as thorough background information and an outstanding selection of questions and problems.

Innovative and self-directed, EXPERIMENTS IN GENERAL CHEMISTRYFEATURING MEASURENET, 2nd Edition prepares students for the laboratory setting by asking them multi-component questions, building their knowledge from previous experiments, and incorporating the innovative MeasureNet network data collection system into the manual. MeasureNet improves the laboratory experience by requiring smaller amounts of chemicals for experiments making the lab safer and more environmentally friendly and greatly increasing precision through its electronic data collection, analysis, and reduction features. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

This comprehensive lab manual contains a wide array of experiments without sacrificing organizational clarity and includes categories on Energy, Kinetics, and Equilibrium. All experiments have undergone significant testing before being finalized, and many microscale experiments have been added to allow for more efficient and cost-effective means of conducting experiments.

BANNED: The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments was a children's chemistry book written in the 1960s by Robert Brent and illustrated by Harry Lazarus, showing how to set up your own home laboratory and conduct over 200 experiments. The book is controversial, as many of the experiments contained in the book are now considered too dangerous for the general public. There are apparently only 126 copies of this book in libraries worldwide. Despite this, its known as one of the best DIY chemistry books every published. The book was a source of inspiration to David Hahn, nicknamed "the Radioactive Boy Scout" by the media, who tried to collect a sample of every chemical element and also built a model nuclear reactor (nuclear reactions however are not covered in this book), which led to the involvement of the authorities. On the other hand, it has also been the inspiration for many children who went on to get advanced degrees and productive chemical careers in industry or academia.
