Organic Laboratory Techniques

So far so good. It really breaks down the labs well. I have been out of a chem lab for many years and now jumping back into Orgo (I'm not crazy I swear), this really helps me understand what's going on. It gives pointers and trouble shooting tips. It really is a must have for the techniques in lab. I haven't had to Google/YouTube anything after reading this book for techniques. That in itself is why the star rating.One con-- there are end of section questions but no answers... they certainly know how to leave a girl hangin'...

Despite my outright hate for the subject, i have to admit that this book made bearing the class a little easier, and help lab pull my lecture grade grade up a bit!The lab procedures are laid out clearly and the diagrams make it easy to figure out what you are supposed to do and what goes where.As a bonus, you'll be making everclear in no time!Kidding aside, If its on your required book list, get it, its very helpful and will make lab painless.

My prof recommended buying this but I only used it once or twice. You might want to try the internet as a resource first before spending the money.

This is a wonderful book for a chemistry student. I got this book for organic chemistry, but I wish I had it back in general chemistry. The book is organized by different techniques and works wonderfully that way. I usually sell my books back, but this one has tables and other special information that I really like. Explanations of techniques are very in depth and very well organized. A must buy for any college chemistry student.

This is a great book if you are starting off organic chemistry. It really describes all the techniques very carefully. My class used it as a supplement to our lab book. I usually relied on it because our lab book didn't completely explain the steps of many techniques. Great supplemental book!!

A good informative lab textbook that informs you about the different techniques such as distillation, chromatography, but it is not worth the money that it costs. I had to buy this product as a requisite for an organic chemistry course, but would not have done so otherwise. Many of the things covered in the manual was better and more concisely explained by the lab instructor. This purchase might be worth the trouble if the lab instructor is lackluster or just plain out doesn't know his stuff. However, they are few and far in between.

It helped me in O chem lab. explains the details of why you extract and why do this and not that.Real helpful. Recommend this to those taking chem classes (O chem specifically)

This is a simple book, that explains organic chem principles fairly simply and clearly. A good aide to learning organic chemistry.

Perfect
