FOREWORD
Chemistry is an experimental science. Everything we know about atoms and
molecules is almost entirely the result of the laboratory experimentation. A student in
chemistry laboratory has a challenging opportunity to understand the interactions of
atoms and molecules and to make many observations of chemical reactions under
controlled laboratory conditions.
This laboratory manual in Chemistry for Engineers is designed to prepare the student
for future laboratory work not only in Chemistry but in other courses as well. He will learn
how to plan for experiments, perform the experiments correctly, obtain data, and
interpret results. He will also learn to be safety conscious thereby making the laboratory
a safer place to work and protect the individual and the environment from the exposure
to hazardous materials.
