Synopsis

This manual contains 43 finely tuned, self-contained experiments chosen to introduce basic lab techniques and to illustrate core chemical principles. The Eleventh Edition has been revised to correlate more tightly with Brown/LeMay/Bursten’s Chemistry: The Central Science, 11/e and now features a guide on how to keep a lab report notebook. Safety and waste management are covered in greater detail, and many pre-lab and post-lab questions have been updated. The labs can also be customized through Catalyst, Pearson's custom database program.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Presenting a total of 41 finely tuned experiments that have been tested by thousands of students, this comprehensive manual teaches students basic laboratory techniques, reviews chemical concepts, helps students identify different chemical substances, and helps students learn to think like scientists.

Each experiment:

• States learning objectives
• Lists apparatus and chemicals needed for that particular experiment
• Describes what the experiment will prove
• Highlights and safety disposal information
• Provides step-by-step procedures
• Poses preliminary questions and emphasizes important take-away points
• Concludes with report sheets for answering questions and tabulating results
