This general chemistry laboratory textbook includes a one-semester course from glassblowing to luminol reactions, and a two-semester course from density measurement to hand warmer making, including explanations of laboratory precautions and laboratory equipment, covering a one-year curriculum.
Each experiment is designed to be feasible under current conditions, is consistent with general chemical theory, and is designed to stimulate interest in science.
Before the experiment, it contains an explanation of the basic theory related to the content of the experiment, the method and precautions for the experimental process, as well as any problems that may be encountered during the experiment, and the contents of the results report to be written after the experiment.
Therefore, in this class, the professor and teaching assistant provide guidance on the theory and experimental methods for proper experiments, and students must plan the experiments and cooperate with their group members to conduct the experiments.
Additionally, to prevent laboratory safety accidents, students should always be familiar with the response manual, and the roles and responsibilities of professors and teaching assistants should always be known when conducting experiments.
Upon completing this course, students will be able to develop the ability to independently find data suited to a given purpose, develop an experimental plan based on this data, conduct experiments collaboratively, and finally analyze the results to identify problems.


With this purpose in mind, this textbook does not significantly change the basic content of previous general chemistry laboratory textbooks, but adds essential content and several interesting chemistry experiments that will stimulate students' interest and curiosity in chemistry.
I sincerely hope that the contents of this textbook will provide all students taking general chemistry lab courses with an opportunity to develop interest and curiosity in chemistry, as well as a variety of scientific ways of thinking.
