This proven laboratory manual gives you what you need to conduct a variety of interesting microscale experiments with safety and ease--while you develop an understanding of the special techniques these types of experiments require.
In this edition, the authors have increased the book's "green" approach, giving you the clearly written information and instruction to conduct chemical experiments in a more environmentally friendly way. Many of the book's experiments have been modifined to use new techniques and reduce the use of hazardous solvents and reagents.
In addition, you'll find fascinating essays that add real-life relevance and understanding to each experiment. Some of the essays in this edition include:
- Identification of Drugs
- The Chemistry of Vision
- Green Chemistry
- Petroleum and Fossil Fuels
- Detection of Alcohol: The Breathalyzer
- Pheromones: Insect Atrractants and Repellants
- Firefiles and Photochemistry
