Revision topics for labs

Some tutorials to help you brush up on the basics for your labs:

Significant Figures | Scientific Notation | Dimensional Analysis | Avogadro’s number | Balancing equations | Limiting Reactant | Molarity | Dilutions

The FULL ebook - the one you access through MasteringChemistry - also covers all this background, mostly in Chapters 1-4.

Tutorials that may help you with specific labs:

Lab #2: Strong acid and strong base titrations | Titrations of weak acids

Lab #5: VSEPR model | Hybridization | Chiral Centers | Chirality

Lab #6: Phase Diagrams

The drop-in center on the Elliott landing is a good place to go for help with labs.
