Nationwide, chemistry courses at the collegiate levels have become more interested in eliminating health hazards and minimizing harmful waste products. Key principles are applied in this research to create a greener general college chemistry laboratory manual.  The new procedures focus not only on making 'greener' experimental procedures, but also on improving student understanding of green chemistry concepts.  This research specifically created labs for the examination of an equilibrium constant, the synthesis of an organic compound, and the determination of a coordination compound.

Incorporating green chemistry principles into general chemistry labs for organic synthesis, coordination compound, and determination of an equilibrium constant
