{"product_id":"chemistry-isbn-9780470085103","title":"Chemistry","description":"Chemistry: An Everyday Approach to Chemical Investigation is intended to accompany any mainstream general chemistry course, and consists of 27 experiments that can be completed using only chemicals found in consumer products. The manual is an ideal resource for courses emphasizing \u003ci\u003egreen chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e in which the use of hazardous materials is reduced or eliminated altogether. Many of the experiments requiring simple equipment and glassware can be performed at remote sites providing laboratory experience for use with on-line or long distance learning courses.   \u003cp\u003eThe advantages of using accessible materials in chemistry laboratory are considerable. Students \u003ci\u003ecan\u003c\/i\u003e reinforce lecture discussions while working with familiar materials.  For instructors, assembling the chemicals required for a lab course can be accomplished with limited budgets and without access to a chemical company.
