Features. Teaches students to perform experimental chemistry procedures in a greener manner. Provides questions at the end of each lab to encourage further research into application of concepts.
Facilitates a decrease in the generation of hazardous waste generated through more traditional methods Summary Green chemistry involves designing novel ways to create and synthesize products and implement processes that will eliminate or greatly reduce negative environmental impacts. The Green Chemistry Laboratory Manual for General Chemistry provides educational laboratory materials that challenge students with the customary topics found in a general chemistry laboratory manual, while encouraging them to investigate the practice of green chemistry. Following a consistent format, each lab experiment begins with objectives and prelab questions highlighting important issues that must be understood prior to getting started.
This is followed by detailed step-by-step procedures for performing the experiments. Students report specific results in sections designated for data, observations, and calculations. Once each experiment is completed, analysis questions test students’ comprehension of the results. Additional questions encourage inquiry-based investigations and further research about how green chemistry principles compare with traditional, more hazardous experimental methods. By placing the learned concepts within the larger context of green chemistry principles, the lab manual enables students to see how these principles can be applied to real-world issues. Performing laboratory exercises through green experiments results in a safer learning environment, limits the quantity of hazardous waste generated, and reduces the cost for chemicals and waste disposal. Students using this manual will gain a greater appreciation for green chemistry principles and the possibilities for future use in their chosen careers.

Poole, Wayne State University, in Chromatographia. 'This book is designed as a laboratory manual ready to be used by students. It’s suitable for late secondary or elementary tertiary-level courses. Experiments highlight a feature also found in other chapters – the links made between chemistry and everyday life.
This problem-based approach has to be lauded. Overall, this book provides an introduction to green chemistry and engages students in the process of challenging traditional methods by benchmarking them against the 12 principles of green chemistry.' — Thomas Logothetis, for Education in Chemistry, August 2016.

Description Laboratory Manual for General Chemistry: Atoms First, Second Edition is organized using the atoms first approach and is written to correspond with the Second Edition of General Chemistry: Atoms First by McMurry/Fay. This manual contains twenty-four experiments with a focus on real world applications, following an intuitive logic progressing from the simplest building blocks to successively more complex concepts. Each experiment covers one or more topics discussed within a chapter of the textbook to help students understand the underlying concepts covered in the lecture course. Additionally, each experiment contains a set of pre-laboratory questions (also assignable in MasteringChemistry ®), an introduction, a background section explaining concepts that each student is expected to master for a full understanding of the experimental results, a step-by-step procedure (including safety information), and a report section featuring post-laboratory questions. Table of Contents Chapter 0 — Part A. Measurement and Expression of Experimental Data Part B. Graphing and Statistical Analysis A math review including practice with significant figures, rounding rules, graphing techniques and statistical analysis.
