Notes

Summary:
This is, to the best of the author's knowledge, the first OpenTextbook in experimental chemistry at a entry-college level. The main part of the experiments in this book deal with classical chemistry techniques such as reading a meniscus, making dilutions or performing a filtration or a titration. These are standard techniques and experiments such as the acetic acid titration have been extensively validated in the literature. The reactants employed in the experiment are standard chemicals easily accessible in any general chemistry laboratory and the safety measures are minimal.- Merlot ( ,, )
