Chemistry is a central discipline that supports and advances almost all fields of science and technology in modern society. Chemistry experiments pave the way for understanding the fundamental theory of chemistry and innovating the development of chemistry as a science. In this regard, the course “College Chemistry Experiments” has become one of the basic courses for college students who engage in chemistry and chemistry-related majors to train them in thinking, observing, analyzing, practicing, and other comprehensive abilities that support them to consolidate their knowledge system.
To achieve “Building a community with a Shared Future for Mankind”, the internationalization of education must be carried out to cultivate the international competence of students in higher education. In addition to improving English proficiency, textbooks for some major courses facilitate minimizing the gap between language and major. Against this background,textbooks for “College Chemistry Experiments” in English are beneficial for inspiring teachers and students with more vision in the world.
The textbook highlights the following features:
Modularizing the experimental content according to chemical theory;
Interlinking the research background and the frontier;
Simplifying the description of experimental procedures for self-directed practice;
Underlining the processing and analysis of experimental data for scientific training;
Emphasizing the experimental safety and discussion of the results.
In agreement with the “Basic Requirements for Teaching Basic Chemistry Courses” formulated by the Steering Committee for Teaching Basic Chemistry Courses in Higher Education Institutions of the Ministry of Education, the textbook coordinates with two Chinese textbooks, College Chemistry (edited by Mengyu Gan and Yunhuai Zhang) and College Chemistry Experiments (edited by Zequan Li and Danmei Yu), and the overall content is organized into five chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the basic requirements of chemistry experiments in terms of experimental safety and the principle of data processing. Chapter 2 describes the commonly used instruments and their basic operation principles. In Chapter 3, the experimental contents are presented in four parts: chemical thermodynamics, chemical reaction kinetics, electrochemistry, analytical test. In Chapters 4 and 5, comprehensive experiments and research-oriented experiments are designed to train the comprehensive skills in chemistry experiments.
The textbook was chiefly handled by Baoshan Hu, with the following authors collaborated: Yan Jin, who edited sessions 1.1, 1.2, and 3.4.2; Gang Chen, one of the associate editors who edited sessions 1.3, 2.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, and 3.4.1; Ping Luo, who edited sessions 2.2, 3.1.1, 3.1.4, 3.3.1, 3.4.4; Huanbao Fa, who edited sessions 2.3, 3.1.3, 3.3.4, 4.3; Zhefeng Li, one of the associate editors who edited sessions 2.4, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 4.1, 5.1, and appendix; Danmei Yu, who edited sessions 3.1.2, 3.4.3, 4.2, 5.3; Baoshan Hu, the editor-in-chief who organized all the contents and edited sessions 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 5.2.
It is the teaching practice and teaching achievements of the teacher team of college chemistry at Chongqing University that contribute to the benchmark for the edition of this textbook. All authors acknowledge Prof. Zidong Wei and Prof. Mengyu Gan for their valuable guidance on the edition. All authors would like to express sincere appreciation to the students, whose enthusiasm and curiosity have always inspired us, and whose questions and suggestions have always helped us. Moreover, all authors are grateful for the valuable experiences and textbooks from our sister colleges as references to enhance our teaching ability.
We sincerely welcome all valuable suggestion and advice to improve this textbook since we have faced with limited knowledge and inevitable mistakes.
