This book is designed to provide experiments for both a general chemistry course and for an inorganic chemistry course as covered either within general chemistry or as a separate course. This book has been written through the collaboration of two authors, one at a small, private, liberal arts college, and the other at a large, public, state university. They have taught general chemistry to a wide spectrum of college students ranging from nonscience majors in humanities and social sciences through science majors, engineers, and advanced placement chemistry majors. In the past, they have written laboratory experiments relating to a two-week laboratory experience for middle school students, a college laboratory course for nonscience majors, a laboratory manual for general chemistry, and both sophomore-level and senior-level inorganic chemistry courses. Thus, they brought extensive experience into their writing.
