This laboratory manual is designed for traditional two-semester college level general chemistry 1 and 2 courses. The content provides reinforcing practice of the major concepts in general chemistry. The activities in this manual will give students experience in safety, the meaningful use of statistics, comparing experimental results with theoretical results, spectrophotometry, chemical engineering, and more. There is a capstone guided discovery lab where students determine their own procedures to separate and identify metal ions in a water sample. Very popular with students, it has been developed and refined over many years using minimized amounts of reagents.

Eric T. Miller

Eric Miller received his B.A. in Physics and Chemistry from the University of Colorado in 1986. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Arizona State University in 1993 studying electrochemistry and materials science. He is now Professor of Chemistry at San Juan College where he serves as Department Chairman and teaches General, Organic, and Analytical Chemistry. He has involved undergraduates and fellow faculty in research and special projects for over thirty years working with Intel, the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the National Institutes of Health.
