Features: The Basic Chemistry Experiment course plays an important role in cultivating students' solid chemical experimental skills and operational proficiency, as well as their ability to skillfully use modern testing instruments and techniques for scientific research and practical production activities. As a research outcome of the "Comprehensive Reform and Research on 21st Century Chemistry Experiment Teaching" by the Department of Chemistry at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Basic Chemistry Experiments emphasizes fundamental chemical operations and experimental skill training while highlighting high-level cyclic, comprehensive, design-oriented, and specialized features in its experimental content. The book extensively employs modern experimental instruments such as mechanical, electrical, optical, and magnetic devices.
The first part includes basic chemical operations, the measurement of fundamental physical quantities and physicochemical parameters, the properties and inorganic synthesis of important elements and compounds. The second part covers separation and analysis experiments, organic synthesis experiments, instrumental analysis experiments, and comprehensive chemistry experiments. To facilitate reader use, the book appends essential knowledge of chemical experiments, temperature measurement, electrical measurement, and optical measurement instruments and techniques, as well as common basic organic chemistry experiments. It provides detailed introductions to synthetic chemistry experimental techniques and the operation methods of common synthetic chemistry instruments. Additionally, it systematically explains the use of common analytical instruments such as pH meters, polarographs, UV-Vis spectrophotometers, infrared spectrometers, fluorescence spectrophotometers, atomic absorption spectrometers, gas chromatographs, and high-performance liquid chromatographs, along with their operational methods. The book also offers reference tables for common data in basic chemistry experiments.
This book is suitable as a textbook for science and engineering students in higher education institutions, as well as for students in medical, forestry, and agricultural-related fields.
