Product Description
The fifth edition of this fully accurate and well-tested lab manual contains 15 general chemistry and 20 organic/biochemistry safety-scale laboratory experiments. The experiments are designed to use small quantities of chemicals and emphasize safety and proper disposal of materials. "Safety-scale" is the authors' own term for describing the amount of chemicals each lab experiment requires--less than macro scale quantities, which are expensive and hazardous, and more than micro quantities, which are difficult to work with and require special equipment. This lab manual provides a blend of laboratory skills and exercises that illustrate concepts from the main text.
About The Author
Spencer L. Seager is Professor of Chemistry at Weber State University, where he served as chemistry department chairman from 1969 until 1993. He teaches general and physical chemistry at the university and is also active in projects to help improve chemistry and other science education in local elementary schools. He received his B.S. degree in chemistry and Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from the University of Utah. Other interests include minor home repairs, working in the garden, listening to classical music, and walking for exercise.
Michael R. Slabaugh is Professor of Chemistry at Weber State University, where he teaches the year-long sequence of General, Organic, and Biochemistry. He received his B.S. degree in chemistry from Purdue and his Ph.D. degree in organic chemistry from Iowa State University. His interest in plant alkaloids led to a year of postdoctoral study in biochemistry at Texas A and M. His current professional interests are chemistry education and community involvement in science activities, particularly the State Science and Engineering Fair in Utah. He also enjoys the company of his family, hiking in the mountains, and fishing the local streams.
