Organic Chemistry with Vernier

Recommended for College.

Organic Chemistry with Vernier contains experiments designed for use with Vernier data-collection technology in college organic chemistry courses. Experiments cover a broad range of topics and techniques including compound identification, synthesis, chromatography, optical rotation, and spectroscopy.

Description

This book makes it easy for organic chemistry instructors to integrate Vernier data-collection technology into the organic chemistry lab curriculum. The experiments involve characterization of reactions and compounds using the Vernier Melt Station, Mini Gas Chromatograph, SpectroVis Plus, and the Polarimeter.

Instructor notes include helpful tips for successfully completing the experiment, reagent preparation information, and sample data.

Included with Organic Chemistry with Vernier

Complete student experiments with materials list, step-by-step instructions, data tables, and questions.
Instructor Information section for each experiment with directions for setting up experiments, helpful hints, and sample graphs and data.
Word-processing files of the student sections on a CD so that any experiment may be easily edited to your specifications (Microsoft Word for Macintosh and Windows files).

Features listed above are only available when you purchase the lab book. The downloadable evaluation PDFs include student instructions only.
