CHM152 LABORATORY

Mesa Community College

Physical Science Department

The general chemistry lab manual has been put on line in an attempt to reduce student expenses. Each week you will be required to read and print out the scheduled experiment for your laboratory section. The files are in pdf format and will require the use of Adobe Acrobat reader. You will also need your laboratory carbonless research notebook (refer to Keeping a Lab Notebook section below). Below is a link to download Adobe Acrobat Reader.

It is recommended that you download and save each experiment at the beginning of the semester in the event of and internet outage.
