Features: The Basic Chemistry Experiment course plays a crucial role in cultivating students' solid experimental skills and operational proficiency in chemistry, as well as their ability to skillfully utilize modern testing instruments and techniques for scientific research and practical production activities. As a research outcome of the "Comprehensive Reform and Research on Teaching of Chemistry Experiment Courses for the 21st Century" 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 volume covers basic chemical operations, the determination of fundamental physical quantities and physicochemical parameters, the properties of important elements and compounds, and inorganic synthesis. The second volume includes experiments on substance separation and analysis, organic synthesis, instrumental analysis, and comprehensive chemistry experiments. To facilitate reader use, the book appendices provide basic knowledge of chemical experiments, temperature measurement, electrical measurement, and optical measurement instruments and techniques, as well as common fundamental organic chemistry experiments. It also offers detailed introductions to synthetic chemistry experimental techniques and the operation methods of common synthetic chemistry instruments. Additionally, it systematically explains 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 operation methods. The book also provides reference tables of common data for 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.
