This General Chemistry Laboratory manual consists of experiments designed to introduce to a student new to chemistry basic chemical concepts and techniques. Each lab consists of an introduction, where the major concepts of the experiments are explained, safety instruction, and a step-by-step procedure.

The major learning outcomes emphasized in this lab manual are as followed:

  1. Develop problem solving skills
  2. Perform accurate and precise quantitative measurements
  3. Interpret experimental results and draw reasonable conclusions
  4. Analyze data statistically and access reliability of results
  5. Anticipate, recognize and respond properly to hazards of chemical manipulation
  6. Work effectively in small groups and teams
  7. Training in ethical behavior
  8. Develop laboratory skills in chemical and instrumental method of analysis
  9. Learn about the impact of chemistry on society.
