Green Chemistry Laboratory Manual for General Chemistry

Green Chemistry Laboratory Manual for General Chemistry

Green chemistry involves designing novel ways to create and synthesize products and implement processes that will eliminate or greatly reduce negative environmental impacts. The Green Chemistry Laboratory Manual for General Chemistry provides educational laboratory materials that challenge students with the customary topics found in a general chemistry laboratory manual while encouraging them to investigate the practice of green chemistry. Following a consistent format each lab experiment begins with objectives and prelab questions highlighting important issues that must be understood prior to getting started. This is followed by detailed step-by-step procedures for performing the experiments. Students report specific results in sections designated for data observations and calculations. Once each experiment is completed analysis questions test students comprehension of the results. Additional questions encourage inquiry-based investigations and further research about how green chemistry principles compare with traditional more hazardous experimental methods. By placing the learned concepts within the larger context of green chemistry principles the lab manual enables students to see how these principles can be applied to real-world issues. Performing laboratory exercises through green experiments results in a safer learning environment limits the quantity of hazardous waste generated and reduces the cost for chemicals and waste disposal. Students using this manual will gain a greater appreciation for green chemistry principles and the possibilities for future use in their chosen careers.

On the Shoulders of Giants

On the Shoulders of Giants

Mathematics is the only science with a methodology based upon deductive logic whereas physics is a quantitative science based upon experiment and observation in which trial and error are inherent. Physics uses the most relevant mathematics for example using group theory to explain the theoretical basis for the crystalline structure of solids an illustration of how time and time again a mathematical theorem perhaps developed by a Greek philosopher is relevant to today's newly developed physics proof. On the Shoulders of Giants investigates the relationship between the disciplines of physics and mathematics and shows how many of the most significant advances of 20th-century physics rely on mathematics developed sometimes much earlier with no particular physics application in mind. Quoting from mathematicians such as Poincar nd Euclid and physicists such as Newton and Feynman the links between the two disciplines are explored in the author's entertaining style providing a fascinating account of the twists and turns in scientific progress through the ages. Challenging stimulating and questioning the book explains how the uncanny ability of formal and abstract mathematics can interpret the properties of the physical world. Using a wide ranging set of examples it illustrates the manner in which mathematics has been applied to physics and even points to directions for future research. The book discusses how to fill space without leaving gaps; Euclidean geometry its limitations and the bending of space; the laws of musical harmony sound vibrations and the confinement of electrons in solids; how to tile a floor efficiently; Newton's Laws of Motion chaos and the weather; group theory and garlic; the laws of chance; route-planning in Konigsberg with Euler; the rules that turn bath bubbles into suds; the shape of soot; and the Schr dinger equation and why a pendulum can never stop.
