Principles of General Chemistry, 11th Edition

Authors: J.A. Beran, Mark Lassiter

The material focuses on the lab experiences that reinforce the concepts that not all experimental conclusions are the same and depend on identifying an appropriate experimental procedure, selecting the proper apparatus, employing the proper techniques, systematically analyzing and interpreting the data, and minimizing inherent variables. Students gain a solid foundation for technique, safety, and experimental procedure. As a result of "good" data, a scientific and analytical conclusion is made which may or may not "be right," but is certainly consistent with the data.

A student's scientific literacy grows when experiences and observations associated with the scientific method are encountered. Further experimentation provides additional "cause & effect" observations leading to an even better understanding of the experiment.

Covers two semesters of a general chemistry laboratory program. The experiments may accompany any general chemistry textbook and are compiled at the beginning of each curricular unit.
