Laboratory Manual for Introductory Chemistry

Description

For lab courses in introductory, preparatory, and basic chemistry.

Prepare introductory chemistry students for laboratory and provide a safe experience

Emphasizing environmental considerations, Corwin’s acclaimed Laboratory Manual for Introductory Chemistry offers a proven format of a pre-laboratory assignment, a stepwise procedure, and a post-laboratory assignment. More than 500,000 students to date in Introductory Chemistry, Preparatory Chemistry, and Allied Health Chemistry have used these experiments successfully. The 7th Edition continues to evolve with increased sensitivity to environmental and safety concerns in the laboratory. Recycle icons in the margin of each procedure alert students to recycle chemical waste  and “green chemical” indicators remind students to use the appropriate waste containers provided to dispose of chemicals. Corwin’s lab manual can be packaged with any Pearson Intro Prep Chemistry book.

New, updated and additional features of this title

• Environmental Icons alert students to recycle chemical waste.
• Instructor Demonstrations help reduce chemical waste.
• Experimental Procedures simplify tasks and provide a better workflow.
• UPDATED: Pre-laboratory Assignments are detachable, can be submitted to the instructor before starting an experiment and help students prepare for the experiment .
• Post-laboratory Assignments synthesize the principles in an experiment, are detachable and can be submitted to the instructor after finishing the experiment.
• Line art illustrations demonstrate techniques for reading a metric ruler, graduated cylinder, thermometer, and buret; plus instructions for using a laboratory burner, platform balance, beam balance, electronic balance, and volumetric pipet.

Hallmark features of this title

• Objective sets help students focus on experimental activities.
• Equipment and chemical lists organize the experimental materials.
• Discussions include example exercises to show students how to perform the calculations associated with each quantitative procedure.
• Time-tested procedures and unknowns help students build confidence and an appreciation for chemistry in the laboratory.
• Alerts to procedures that should be performed carefully and pre-laboratory questions regarding safety are provided. Operations that present even minimal danger have been avoided.
• Environmentally friendly chemicals that do not contain lead, mercury, chromium, chloroform, or carbon tetrachloride are used.
