"A Manual for General Chemistry Laboratory I, 2045L"
7th edition

James C. Horvath, University of Florida
ISBN: 0-89892-381-6
 

This manual is for the first lab course in General Chemistry at the University of Florida. It has been in publication for many years and was developed to make Chemistry students "think" in the lab as opposed to filling in blanks. Dr. Horvath believes that knowledge with understanding is much more valuable than simple knowledge.

"Experiments in Organic Chemistry"
3rd Edition

Richard K. Hill, emeritus University of Georgia
John Barbaro, Rocky Mountain College, formerly of University of Florida
ISBN: 0-89892-311-5
 

Originally written for the University of Georgia Organic Chemistry labs, this manual has been expanded and now has over 50 adoptions throughout the country. Most of the lab manual's experiments are small-scale, using 1-5 g of starting materials, and a large majority are also designed for microscale laboratories, using 50-200 mg of reagents, making this manual suitable for both standard or microscale operations.
