Description: This traditional-scale lab book prepares readers to perform the fundamental operations of organic chemistry in the laboratory and apply the operations intelligently in new situations -- to think and act like an organic chemist. Features traditional-scale laboratory procedures which do not require expensive, special glassware and which provide enough material for visual and physical characterization. Contains 115 experiments -- 12 experiments that teach basic operations, 46 experiments that reinforce concepts, and 47 minilabs (shorter experiments that can be used to fill partial or shorter lab periods). Features many experiments that use common or household compounds. Provides a section on qualitative organic analysis. Includes sections on using the chemical literature, keeping a notebook, and planning a synthesis. For anyone interested in organic chemistry.
