「Experiments in General Chemistry, 4th Edition」是專為大學修習普通化學實驗之一年級學生所編寫的英文實驗教材。內容涵蓋基礎化學、定性與定量分析化學、動力學、電化學與熱力學、有機化學及新穎材料化學等，共18個實驗及18項實驗技能。適合生命科學及材料工程領域學生之學習。實驗教材編寫理念著重於：印證化學原理、基礎實驗技能練習、強化實驗安全與GHS之觀念，並設計合成與性質鑑定兼具之統整型實驗。讓學生由實作中學習科學研究方法，建立探究精神，經由合成新穎材料，如高溫超導體、導電高分子、金奈米粒子等實驗，瞭解科學發展動向，從而增進學生對基礎科學研究之興趣。本書以示範照片搭配實驗步驟、彩色印刷的方式呈現，幫助學生理解及提升學習成效。



　　Experiments in General Chemistry is a laboratory manual written for first-year students at National Taiwan University. The first edition was published in 2009. It gathers the teaching experiences from the faculty and teaching assistances of the general chemistry education team over the years.



　　The contents cover qualitative and quantitative analytical chemistry, kinetics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, organic chemistry and novel materials synthesis, with a total of 18 experiments. The core concept is focused on identifying and applying chemical principles, training basic experimental skills, practicing integrated experiments, and building up the safety and environmental awareness. Besides, novel materials chemistry, such as high-temperature superconductors, conducting polymers, and gold nanoparticles, are introduced to increase the students’ learning interests.



　　General chemistry laboratory is the first chemistry experiment course for students from different disciplines. Most of them are not familiar with how to do these hands-on activities. In this edition, we use photos along with experimental steps, and QR codes link to demonstration videos web pages to help students’ understandings. On the other hand, we strengthen the theoretical background, revise the experiment procedures to be safer, reduce the amount of chemicals, and emphasize the importance of the green chemistry to make the new edition more sustainable and diverse.
