Exploring General Chemistry in the Laboratory

This laboratory manual is intended for a two-semester general chemistry course and covers topics such as composition of compounds, reactivity, stoichiometry, limiting reactants, gas laws, calorimetry, periodic trends, molecular structure, spectroscopy, kinetics, equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, intermolecular forces, solutions, and coordination complexes. The procedures are written with the goal of simplifying a complicated and often challenging subject for students by applying concepts to everyday life.
