Laboratory Manual: General Chemistry for the Health Professions

Kobrak’s “Laboratory Manual: General Chemistry for the Health Professions” is intended to accompany a one semester survey course in general chemistry as part of a pre-nursing or related health professions curriculum. The experiments cover a range of topics, but are connected by a common theme of quantitative measurement and a close connection to chemical theory. The book is intended for use with, “Introduction to General, Organic & Biochemistry,” by Bettelheim et al., and includes reference to the sections of the text appropriate to each experiment to help students solidfy the connection between theory and experiment. However, each experiment includes an extensive theoretical introduction that is self-contained, making the book easy to use in any context and providing reinforcement for more conceptual course material.
