The Practical Laboratory Guide In Chemistry Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Laboratory Guide of Industrial Chemistry The factory is surely no less fertile a department of this industrial era than the railroad or the foundry. For in the manufacturing plant there is more need of techno-practical (if such a term may be used) trained men than in any other branch of industry. Unquestionably it is necessary to have organization for the manipulation of power, machinery, and labor, so as to obtain the maximum of production with the minimum of expenditure or depreciation of plant. But in addition, it is highly essential that we understand the chemi cal principles upon which these industries are based. The object of this book, therefore, is to acquaint the student of chemistry with a few commercial processes, by introducing practical methods of handling materials on a large scale; the care and use of machinery; the cost of raw material; transportation; wage system; the handling of men and shop discipline.

Excerpt from The Laboratory Guide: A Manual of Practical Chemistry for Colleges and Schools, Specially Arranged for Agricultural Students The student using this Guide will do so with the greatest effect if, while he is going through the experiments on manipulation described in Part I., he will attend a course of Lectures on Inorganic Chemistry, and study the corresponding chapters of a text - book of Chemistry. The lessons on Manipulation may then be readily mastered by two or three hours' practice in the laboratory each week during a period of four months; an additional hour or so each week will be requisite for posting up the 'laboratory book' with the results of the practical work.

Excerpt from Laboratory Manual of Physical Chemistry In view of the fact that there are, as a rule, available for laboratory work' not more than two and one-half hours at a time, it has been found desirable to have the different pieces of apparatus set up beforehand by the instructor. To this end, each experiment is preceded by an exact list of the appa ratus and chemicals needed. It is believed that this will materi ally aid the instructor in assembling the necessary equipment. At the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the laboratory course immediately follows the completion of the theoretical course in physical chemistry, and students are thus prepared to take up the study of any experiment herein listed. It is therefore found practical to prepare the equipment for one or two units of each exercise before the laboratory course starts, and to shift the student successively from one experiment to another. In this way, an excessive amount of preparatory work is avoided. Many of the experiments have been in use in their present form at this Institute, and elsewhere, for a number of years, and have been found to be thoroughly satisfactory.

Excerpt from Laboratory Manual of Chemistry N preparing this brief course, the authors have endeavored to select such work as will best develop the true spirit of investigation. It is not intended to present an exhaustive treatise, but rather a few of the stepping-stones over which the student of this department of nature must travel. We most thoroughly believe that the experiments selected should, as a rule, be of such a nature that the pupil can perform them. For himself. The teacher should be but the guide that points out the right path, calling attention to the by-paths of error. The work here laid out should be accompanied by some text-book. The authors have had in mind, while preparing this work, the Manual of Chemistry, by Eliot and Storer although it could be used with any other good text-book of elementary chemistry. It is our plan to require three hours' work per week in the laboratory and two in the recitation room. The experiments here given, with the necessary practice in determining unknown substances by the Key, will probably occupy the class for forty weeks. Some experiments should be indicated by the teacher for omission, if the time alloted for chemistry is too short.

Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of General Chemistry A special chapter has been introduced for the study of negative radicals. A differentiation is here made between the reactions of a few special reagents upon compounds before and after heating. Finally, the highly objectionable method of recording in the laboratory those observations which are only to be trans ferred later to a so-called notebook is now eliminated. A student who but once engaged in this indefensible practice is far too prone in later years to record weighings and other data on scraps of paper. When such useless records seem to attain a reasonable degree of satisfaction to his untrained mind he may actually transfer them to a more desirable location, but neither to the credit of the location nor the student. This manual is so constructed that all questions under each heading are consecutively numbered. These same numbers appear also upon the opposite or blank pages and indicate positions for the records. Upon the form and accuracy of these records the student himself must expect the proper estimate of his scientific ability. For the interest and care with which the manuscript has been read by Professor William G. Smeaton of this laboratory and for his many valuable suggestions the author wishes to express his gratitude and appreciation.
