This new edition of the Beran lab manual emphasizes chemical principles as well as techniques. The manual helps students understand the timing and situations for the various techniques. The Beran lab manual has long been a market leading lab manual for general chemistry. Each experiment is presented with concise objectives, a comprehensive list of techniques, and detailed lab intros and step-by-step procedures.
This compendium of twenty laboratory experiments on metals and alloys attempts to provide to students of Science and Engineering an insight about the relationship of the physical, specially mechanical properties of metals with grain structures/microstructures. In almost all the experiments, therefore, the microstructural investigation is provided. Experiments have also been included on the determination of important mechanical and thermal properties and on the aqueous and atmospheric corrosion of metals. Theoretical background of each experiment has been dealt with in good detail in order to enable the student to understand the underlying principles and to appreciate the significance of the experiments. Information which could not be accommodated given in the text of the experiments, has been provided in the form of appendices.These include: reflection microscopy, experimental determination of transition points through cooling curves to get data for plotting phase diagrams, and quenching media for tempering of alloys. In view of the importance of microstrucures for some metals and alloys have also been given.
Green chemistry involves designing novel ways to create and synthesize products and implement processes that will eliminate or greatly reduce negative environmental impacts. Providing educational laboratory materials that challenge students with the customary topics found in a general chemistry laboratory manual, this lab manual enables students to see how green chemistry principles can be applied to real-world issues. Following a consistent format, each lab experiment includes objectives, prelab questions, and detailed step-by-step procedures for performing the experiments. Additional questions encourage further research about how green chemistry principles compare with traditional, more hazardous experimental methods.
The leading lab manual for general chemistry courses In the newly refreshed eleventh edition of Laboratory Manual for Principles of General Chemistry, dedicated researchers Mark Lassiter and J. A. Beran deliver an essential manual perfect for students seeking a wide variety of experiments in an easy-to understand and very accessible format. The book contains enough experiments for up to three terms of complete instruction and emphasizes crucial chemical techniques and principles.
This book provides a detailed description of metal-complex functionalized carbon allotrope forms, including classic (such as graphite), rare (such as M- or T-carbon), and nanoforms (such as carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, etc.). Filling a void in the nanotechnology literature, the book presents chapters generalizing the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of all known carbon allotropes. Metal-complex composites of carbons are described, along with several examples of their preparation and characterization, soluble metal-complex carbon composites, cost-benefit data, metal complexes as precursors of carbon allotropes, and applications. A lab manual on the synthesis and characterization of carbon allotropes and their metal-complex composites is included. Provides a complete description of all carbon allotropes, both classic and rare, as well as carbon nanostructures and their metal-complex composites; Contains a laboratory manual of experiments on the synthesis and characterization of metal-complex carbon composites; Discusses applications in diverse fields, such as catalysis on supporting materials, water treatment, sensors, drug delivery, and devices.
Previously by Angelici, this laboratory manual for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate course in inorganic synthesis has for many years been the standard in the field. In this newly revised third edition, the manual has been extensively updated to reflect new developments in inorganic chemistry. Twenty-three experiments are divided into five sections: solid state chemistry, main group chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and bioinorganic chemistry. The included experiments are safe, have been thoroughly tested to ensure reproducibility, are illustrative of modern issues in inorganic chemistry, and are capable of being performed in one or two laboratory periods of three or four hours. Because facilities vary from school to school, the authors have included a broad range of experiments to help provide a meaningful course in almost any academic setting. Each clearly written & illustrated experiment begins with an introduction that hig! hlights the theme of the experiment, often including a discussion of a particular characterization method that will be used, followed by the experimental procedure, a set of problems, a listing of suggested Independent Studies, and literature references.
