A laboratory manual for general, organic, and biochemistry

The seventh edition, by Charles H. Henrickson,Larry C. Byrd, and Norman W. Hunter of WesternKentucky University, offers clear and concise laboratoryexperiments to reinforce students' understandingof concepts. Pre-laboratory exercises, questions, andreport sheets are coordinated with each experimentto ensure active student involvement and comprehension.An updated student tutorial on graphing withExcel has been added to this edition.
