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.
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.
