Synopsis

Sixth Edition. "In writing this manual, the authors have attempted to illustrate many of the established principles of chemistry with experiments that are as interesting and challenging as possible. For the most part, the experimental procedures and methods for processing data are described in great detail, so that students of widely varying backgrounds and abilities will be able to see how to perform the experiments properly and how to interpret them. Many of the experiments in this manual have not appeared elsewhere, and were developed and tested in the general chemistry laboratories of Macalester College and the University of Connecticut. We have included more experiments than can be conveniently done in a year in the usual laboratory program, so instructors may select experiments in a flexible way to meet the needs of their particular courses. In many of the experiments, unknowns are assigned to students to ensure their working independently and to add a measure of realism to the l

About the Author:

Emil J. Slowinski is an Emeritus DeWitt Wallace Professor of Chemistry at Macalester College. He earned a B.S. degree from Massachusetts State College in 1946 and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1949. He taught at Swarthmore College, 1949-1952; the University of Connecticut, 1952-1964; and Macalester College, 1964-1988. His sabbatical leaves were at Oxford University in 1960 and the University of Warsaw in 1968. He is a co-author, with Bill Masterton and/or Wayne Wolsey, of more than 25 books on various areas of general chemistry. He was actively involved in all editions of CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES IN THE LABORATORY up through the 9th edition, and though now retired from active writing still offers insights, advice, and support to his coauthors.
