Book excerpt: Excerpt from Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry: A Laboratory Course for First Year College Students The plan kept in mind in preparing this course is, brie y, as follows: The greater part of the preparations selected are of industrial importance, and for the starting point of each either natural products or crude manufactured materials are used so far as is possible. The course does not aim to be an exhaustive one in chemical preparations, but a limited number of exercises are selected to illustrate the most impor tant types of compounds of the common elements and the most important methods. Two or three times as many exercises are furnished as any one student will be able to complete in the time usually allotted; thus different students may be assigned different preparations. The notes for each exercise are divided into three parts: I. A discussion of the object of the exercise, with an out line of the principle of the method and the reasons for the steps involved. II. Working directions which, if carefully followed, should result in obtaining a satisfactory product. It is believed far better to make the directions very explicit, for the reason that the inexperienced student may easily become discouraged by failures due to difficulties which he is unable to foresee. Difficulties enough are sure to arise to develop originality and resourcefulness. III. Questions for study which involve additional laboratory experiments, the consulting of text-books, and original reasoning. At the end of each group of exercises is furnished a set of general study questions, and this arrangement of the exercises in groups is such as to bring out the relationships shown in the periodic classification of the elements.
