Excerpt from A Laboratory Outline of College Chemistry In the effort to make misapprehensions and mistakes as nearly impossible as may be, the directions have been entirely rewritten, and in many cases have been amplified, and a num ber of the experiments have been modified. An entirely new set of figures has also been drawn. To render the exercises more instructive, and still further to discourage mechanical work, a larger number of questions has been inserted. With the same end in view, data in regard to solubility have been introduced (appendix) as a new feature, and their use in explaining chemical phenomena has been illustrated in many experiments. The rationalizing value of using the conceptions of chemical dynamics, the electromotive series, and the degrees of ioniza tion has been emphasized by more frequent references. Some of the formal quantitative experiments have been modified, and the directions have been made clearer. The value of these experiments has been found to lie chie y in the basis they give for clear understanding of the difficult subject of combining, atomic, and molecular weights.
