4.0 out of 5 stars Good introductory chemistry lab book, February 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Chemical Principles in the Laboratory (Saunders Golden Sunburst Series) (Spiral-bound)

This book uses removable pages as prelabs which were very good in giving a conceptual idea of the experiments before they were done. Also, there are good flowcharts, equations for every step of the reactions, and formulas to help do the problems. All data that needs to be recorded is clearly mentioned in a form format.

It was delivered quickly. Had it in time for my lab. Explains the steps to the lab fully so that the student knows exactly what to do in the experiment.
