This
text from MIT provides the student with in-depth explanations of the following
essential laboratory techniques in chemistry. These include transfer and
extraction techniques, purification of both solids (recrystallization) and
liquids (distillation), advanced methods including flash column chromatography
and protein assays. The book also addresses issues on the design of experiments
and the importance of error analysis and reproducibility. It is designed with
both students and professionals in mind and guides on the setup of experiments,
handling equipment, and result analysis. It puts so much emphasis on acquiring a
sound laboratory practice through safe and accurate techniques. This book is
very beneficial to any person who aims at sharpening their practice of the
laboratory and skills on chemical techniques.
Designed for
students of diverse educational backgrounds, this laboratory course covers a
broad spectrum of chemical techniques essential for practical work in chemistry.
It includes inorganic chemistry techniques such as the identification of anions
and cations, as well as organic chemistry methods like separation techniques and
qualitative analysis. The course also features physical chemistry experiments
that teach students about surface tension, viscosity, pH measurement, and
thermochemistry. Emphasizing hands-on experience, the manual provides detailed
instructions for conducting titrimetric and spectrophotometric analyses, as well
as the proper use and calibration of equipment like microscopes and centrifuges.
This course aims to build competence in fundamental laboratory skills across
multiple branches of chemistry.
