A lab manual for the General Chemistry course, Beran has been
popular for the past nine editions because of its broad
selection of experiments, clear layout, and design. Containing
enough material for two or three terms, this lab manual emphasizes
chemical principles as well as techniques. In addition, the manual
helps students understand the timing and situations for various
techniques.
