About the Book

General Chemistry II Honors Laboratory Manual (2025) is designed to expose students to labs with applications. Chemical instrumentation for analyses of different substances is showcased; analysis of common household and environmental samples was delved into. The belief is that honors level students should get early introduction to chemical instrumentation and their use in carrying out sample testing and analysis.
