Laboratory Experiments: Chemistry in Life applies chemistry to everyday life! By incorporating many household and industrial materials in experimentation, the publication draws the reader’s attention to the value of chemistry in life.
Intended for college students who are taking introductory courses in chemistry and for non-science majors who have little or no background in chemistry, Laboratory Experiments: Chemistry in Life includes a variety of experiments that are sufficient to cover the requirements of many chemistry courses and provide flexibility in preparing the laboratory schedule.
Available in print and eBook formats, Laboratory Experiments: Chemistry in Life:
- Gives the reader a chance to explore freely and draw conclusions based on data obtained from the experiments.
- Includes several experiments related to health, environment, and technology.
- Guides the reader in performing experiments by incorporating the following in each experiment: Objectives, Background, Procedure, and a Report Sheet.
- Features a list of the equipment and all chemicals needed to prepare and conduct experiments.
