Lab Manual for General, Organic and Biological Chemistry-1-semester

by Deboleena Roy

This laboratory manual is for CHEM. 309 at American River College. CHEM 309 is an 1-semester class called "Integrated General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry". This class is designed for students going into a career for Allied Health. The set of experiments for this class was compiled in 2006 when this course was launched. The laboratory manual has gone through many years of revisions in the last two decades.
