This lab manual is organized and written to ensure that non-science majors are comfortable with chemistry labs by making the experiments more applicable to students' daily lives. This approach also serves to make the experiments more understandable. Many labs relate specifically to allied health fields.

This full-color, comprehensive, affordable manual is intended for a one-semester general, organic, and biochemistry course, preparatory/basic chemistry course, liberal arts chemistry course, or allied health chemistry course. The procedures are written with the goal of simplifying a complicated and often challenging subject for students by applying concepts to everyday life.The first half of the lab manual covers general topics such as chemical and physical properties, elements of the periodic table, types of bonds, empirical formulas, and reaction stoichiometry. These labs form the foundation for future labs, which cover the basics of organic and biological chemistry. Experiments include the classification of organic compounds and the determination of biomolecules. By the end of this course, students should have a solid understanding of the basic concepts of chemistry, which will give them confidence as they embark on various allied health careers.Features: ?Initiate the study of basic concepts in the general, organic, and biochemistry laboratory by reading through concise introductory material and answering pre-lab questions that familiarize students with the concepts presented in each exercise. The inclusion of color photography and high-quality art promotes engagement and comprehension of the more difficult concepts.?Investigate the mysteries of matter by following the clearly written procedures and recording data and observations on the provided data sheets. Common techniques are reviewed as needed in Technique Tips boxes to reinforce the development of basic laboratory skills. OSHA pictograms, and Lab Safety boxes are provided to help students understand any risks associated with specific chemicals and equipment.?Integrate knowledge of each laboratory topic by making sense of the data that has been collected. Reflective Exercises galvanize critical thinking and scientific analysis skills to take shape as students make connections between what has been learned and practiced in the hands-on lab and how this knowledge can be applied to a relevant, real-world context.

Intended for use in the two-term, freshman-level General, Organic, and Biochemistry lab course taken by Allied Health students, the Ninth Edition of this widely adopted lab manual includes 42 experiments for a laboratory program that may accompany the lecture course. The lab manual has been completely updated and revised to reflect the most current terminology and environmental standards, and features up-to-date information on waste disposal and safe laboratory procedures. The manual also includes 6 study aids, 26 exercises and Appendices.

This manual is intended for the beginning student in chemistry. There are 42 experiments of gradually increasing difficulty.
