General chemistry is dealing with a number of innovative features, including interactive exercises and real-world applications, designed to enhance student learning. The manual covers preparation of solution, diffusion of gas, simple and fractional distillation, mass and volume measurements, identification of substances by physical properties, separation of the components of a mixture, chemical reactions, solubility of salts in water and bomb calorimetry. It's also concerned with developing the tools used to examine these properties. Thus, it is important that students of chemistry do experiments in the lab to more fully understand the theories they study. The manual helps students understand the timing and situations for the various techniques.
