Three new experiments are included in this 3rd edition, Atomic Emission and Flame Tests, Colligative Properties, and Human Digestion.
An extensive safety review has been done for this 3rd edition, which resulted in removing two labs with higher fire risk and in removing some of the most hazardous reagents in the experiments in the Organic Chemistry section.
