Features: This book is a textbook for the first-year university chemistry laboratory course. Its main contents include: training in basic operations; experiments on basic concepts and the determination of some physicochemical data; the preparation and purification of inorganic compounds; tests on the properties of common elements and their compounds; the separation and detection of common ions in aqueous solutions. The book aims to overcome complexity by highlighting key points, guiding students to master this knowledge through comparison and differentiation. In addition to arranging a moderate number of experiments on the preparation and purification of inorganic compounds, given that the systematic analysis of hydrogen sulfide has a positive effect on learning the basic properties of elements, this book interweaves the separation and detection of 18 cations and 11 anions with element property tests to stimulate students' learning initiative and enthusiasm. The book contains a total of 48 experiments, some of which are optional for students to do outside of class. In-class experiments should be designed to leave room for students to have ample time for careful observation and in-depth reflection.
