The LibreTexts platform provides a
comprehensive number of general chemistry lab techniques. More procedural
details on other types of laboratory methods like acid-base extraction,
distillation, and filtration, to mention but a few, are also presented in the
guide. Usage procedures on common lab equipment, including burets, pipettes,
desiccators, and balances, have been covered as well. This resource uses the
required basic skills and safety precautions necessary to carry out experiments
with minimal mistakes in the shortest time possible. It goes further by
including some more specialized techniques, such as rotary evaporation, thin
layer chromatography, and vacuum filtration, so it can truly be called the most
versatile and accessible guide to general laboratory work in chemistry and
beyond.
This rich laboratory manual is meant for students of
chemistry. It offers varied experiments and practical exercises covering matters
running both on foundational issues and advanced ones. The manual offers
experiments on laboratory apparatus, stoichiometry, titrations, redox reactions,
and also tries to initiate and underpin key analytical techniques: gravimetric
analysis and quantitative analysis by properties of gases. The chemical
principles can be better understood by the students themselves while practicing
important skills in hands-on experiments, such as measurement, chemical
reactions, and data interpretation. This manual is an excellent companion for
students taking chemistry courses and introduces them to mastering essential lab
techniques with structure.
This is a document by the National
Research Council that gives very comprehensive information on laboratory safety
and environmental health. It provides information on how to create a safe
laboratory environment. Some topics discussed include risk evaluation and
assessment, chemical management safety, and emergency preparedness. Issues in
laboratory hazards, proper methods for waste disposal, and legal compliance are
also covered in the book. It is a good reference book in developing a secure
laboratory setting, giving the essential practice regarding management of risks
and proper safety procedure while working with hazardous material. It is ideal
for practitioners, students, and laboratory managers who need to minimize the
events of accidents while ensuring the principles of safety in the laboratory.
