Sixth Edition. "In writing this manual, the authors have attempted to illustrate many of the established principles of chemistry with experiments that are as interesting and challenging as possible. For the most part, the experimental procedures and methods for processing data are described in great detail, so that students of widely varying backgrounds and abilities will be able to see how to perform the experiments properly and how to interpret them. Many of the experiments in this manual have not appeared elsewhere, and were developed and tested in the general chemistry laboratories of Macalester College and the University of Connecticut. We have included more experiments than can be conveniently done in a year in the usual laboratory program, so instructors may select experiments in a flexible way to meet the needs of their particular courses. In many of the experiments, unknowns are assigned to students to ensure their working independently and to add a measure of realism to the l
