Chemistry

The lab manual offers a unique mix of both traditional and guided-inquiry experiments; guidelines for using these two types of experiments are discussed extensively in the To the Instructor section. This mix of experiments allows the instructor to choose the student's level of autonomy in the laboratory, and students will find the experiments clear, engaging, and thought provoking. To the Student, Safety, How to Use Lab Equipment, and the Appendix give students a solid base of knowledge (and instructors a solid base of comfort) to perform safely and successfully in the laboratory.
