General Chemistry Laboratory Manual by Izmir Institute of Technology
This rich laboratory manual is meant for students of
chemistry. It offers varied experiments and practical exercises covering matters
running both on foundational issues and advanced ones. The manual offers
experiments on laboratory apparatus, stoichiometry, titrations, redox reactions,
and also tries to initiate and underpin key analytical techniques: gravimetric
analysis and quantitative analysis by properties of gases. The chemical
principles can be better understood by the students themselves while practicing
important skills in hands-on experiments, such as measurement, chemical
reactions, and data interpretation. This manual is an excellent companion for
students taking chemistry courses and introduces them to mastering essential lab
techniques with structure.
Designed for
students of diverse educational backgrounds, this laboratory course covers a
broad spectrum of chemical techniques essential for practical work in chemistry.
It includes inorganic chemistry techniques such as the identification of anions
and cations, as well as organic chemistry methods like separation techniques and
qualitative analysis. The course also features physical chemistry experiments
that teach students about surface tension, viscosity, pH measurement, and
thermochemistry. Emphasizing hands-on experience, the manual provides detailed
instructions for conducting titrimetric and spectrophotometric analyses, as well
as the proper use and calibration of equipment like microscopes and centrifuges.
This course aims to build competence in fundamental laboratory skills across
multiple branches of chemistry.

This is a document by the National
Research Council that gives very comprehensive information on laboratory safety
and environmental health. It provides information on how to create a safe
laboratory environment. Some topics discussed include risk evaluation and
assessment, chemical management safety, and emergency preparedness. Issues in
laboratory hazards, proper methods for waste disposal, and legal compliance are
also covered in the book. It is a good reference book in developing a secure
laboratory setting, giving the essential practice regarding management of risks
and proper safety procedure while working with hazardous material. It is ideal
for practitioners, students, and laboratory managers who need to minimize the
events of accidents while ensuring the principles of safety in the laboratory.
