manual that contains 15 general chemistry and 20 organic/biochemistry safety-scale laboratory experiments developed during years of laboratory instruction. Blending laboratory skills and exercises that illustrate the main textbook's concepts, it uses 'safety-scale' experiments, which are safe, easy to use, and require no special equipment.
