Safety scale lab experiments - chemistry for today: general, organic, and biochemistry

Perform experiments with skill and confidence in your lab course using this easy-to-understand manual! This proven manual contains 15 general chemistry and20 organic/biochemistry safety-scale laboratory experiments developed during more than 35 years of laboratory instruction. Blending laboratory skills and exercises that illustrate the main textbook's concepts, the manual uses "safety-scale" experiments, which are safe, easy to use, and require no special equipment.
