Book Description

January 23, 2004 0534399703 978-0534399702 5
The Fifth Edition of this 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 macroscale quantities, which are expensive and hazardous, and more than microscale quantities, which are difficult to work with and require special equipment. This lab manual provides a unique blend of laboratory skills and exercises that effectively illustrate concepts from the main text, CHEMISTRY FOR TODAY: GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOCHEMISTRY, Fifth Edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy Used..., February 15, 2007
This review is from: Safety Scale Laboratory Experiments for Chemistry for Seager/Slabaugh's Today: General, Organic, and Biochemistry (Paperback)
For the first experiment, you have to cut out a page of the book! Don't buy used, as such little things as missing pages will hinder your success!

1.0 out of 5 stars sent wrong item, October 24, 2008
This review is from: Safety Scale Laboratory Experiments for Chemistry for Seager/Slabaugh's Today: General, Organic, and Biochemistry (Paperback)
I received the wrong item in the mail and upon trying to contact the seller about their return policy I received no information on how to send back the item and get my money back. I emailed them twice and gave several weeks before making this review. I found the lack of communication to be very unhelpful and disappointing.
