Informationen zum Autor Dr. James Postma is a physical chemist at California State University, Chico. He received his Ph.D. from UC Davis in 1982, studying electrochemistry with Dr. Peter Rock to evaluate the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation. He joined the faculty at CSU, Chico in 1982 and teaches courses in physical and analytical chemistry as well as general chemistry courses. He is the co-author of General Chemistry in the Laboratory, 7th edition, a widely-used laboratory textbook in freshman chemistry classes. He is the chair-elect of the California Section of the American Chemical Society and is currently the Chair of the Academic Senate of the California State University system. He has been a member of the California Science Project Advisory Board since 1995 and has chaired the Board since 2000. Klappentext For nearly 40 years, Chemistry in the Laboratory has been meeting the needs of teachers and students. This new edition builds on that legacy while addressing cutting-edge trends in the chemistry laboratory-including forensic chemistry and environmental and green chemistry. As always, the new edition of Chemistry in the Laboratory offers precise, easy-to-follow instructions, helpful illustrations, and an emphasis throughout on laboratory safety. Again, throughout, a Consider This feature encourages users to expand the principles of the experiment into interesting applications, open-ended experiments, or unexplored corners. Most experiments in the manual can be completed in one lab session, but some can be linked or extended for a multi-lab project.
