Chemistry Experiments on File

Every object that surrounds us is made of matter, either found in nature or created by humans. Chemistry Experiments On File provides more than seventy activities that reveal the underlying behavior patterns of different substances and arranges them in a way that helps students learn the fundamental rules of matter. It brings together - in one accessible volume - the latest information from academic sources and international agencies as well as flow diagrams, charts, and periodic tables. A special section, Chemical Calculations, provides explanations, examples, and questions that allow students to develop the computations that are vital to any quantitative work in chemistry, such as balancing equations and calculating energy changes in reactions. The experiments are divided into clearly themed sections: * Solids, Liquids, and Gases * Energy and Electricity in Chemistry * Chemicals Around Us (Chemical Applications) * Testing for Patterns in Chemistry * Chemical Magic. Chemistry Experiments On File is a valuable resource for high school students, undergraduates, and educators in the classroom and in the library.
