Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of General Chemistry for Use in Colleges The present laboratory manual has been prepared primarily for the use of students in general inorganic chemistry in the University of California. These students have usually had a year in elementary chemistry in high school, and many of them will take no further work in chemistry. No distinction is made between students on the basis of the various curricula which they are following, as we believe that a course in the fundamentals of general chemistry is equally suitable for all students. The laboratory and lecture work are correlated as closely as possible. In the present manual page references are given to Professor Joel H. Hildebrand's "Principles of Chemistry," MacMillan, 1918, the reference book written for the course. The laboratory work is a study of chemical principles, rather than a presentation of descriptive material. It is hoped that the division of the manual into Sections, and the statements in the first paragraphs of the various Assignments, will materially assist the student in recognizing the relation between the experimental details and the principles involved. When the course extends over two terms, as at the University of California, a satisfactory division is to take Sections I to III in the first term, though in some cases it may be possible also to begin the first Assignment on Qualitative Analysis. It is recommended that the Assignments in the last two Sections be taken in the order noted in the text. The following editions of the manual have been printed: Laboratory Directions in Chemistry 1 A, edited by William C. Bray, 1915; 21 Assignments. A Laboratory Manual of General Chemistry, William C. Bray and Ludwig Rosenstein, 1916; 26 Assignments. The same, revised, by William C. Bray, 1917; 31 Assignments; reprinted 1918, 1919, 1920. The present manual contains 5 Sections with a total of 30 Assignments, and is an almost complete revision of the 1917 manual. In the development of this manual from 1912 to the present time a great deal has been contributed by the instructors in the course. We wish especially to acknowledge our indebtedness to Professors G. N. Lewis,. H. Hildebrand, Edward Booth and E. D. Eastman and to Doctors Ludwig Rosenstein and V. L. Argo.
