Excerpt from Chemical Lecture Experiments
Owing to the independent nature of each experiment the description is in most instances prefaced with a short state ment of the nature of the reaction finder consideration. The equations have been given as far as practicable, and where the reaction is not regular and the product is of a complex nature, the fact that the equation represents the general reaction only is indicated by its being followed by an interrogation mark enclosed in brackets.
To facilitate the preparation of experiments, a list of the apparatus and the chemicals required has been appended to experiments demanding anything not ordinarily found on a lecture table. Just how extensive such a list should be has been a matter of considerable question, and to avoid undue repetition it is assumed that burners, test-tubes, retort stands, pneumatic trough, and such general apparatus, as well as the common reagents, are either on the lecture table or within reach.
