With the rise of remote and hybrid learning, there is an increasing need for flexibility around laboratory‑based coursework. This book offers readers a guide to conducting a wide variety of chemistry and chemical engineering labs and experimental procedures that can be completed easily and safely outside of a traditional lab setting, including at home. It helps students and interested readers achieve hands‑on learning of chemistry‑ and chemical engineering‑based concepts without the need for sophisticated lab equipment.
This title features a comprehensive range of labs on such topics as separation processes, CO2 capture, 3D printing, reaction kinetics, and fuel cells.
Features include:
- Detailed information on how to perform experiments at home via virtual experimental procedures and accompanying videos
- Uses household and readily accessible materials and provides safe material handling and disposal methods
- Offers solution spreadsheets where experimental results can be computed and validated
- Gives background information and relevant theory about each experiment and includes exercises at the end of each chapter
- Provides Python code and instructions on how to perform experiments, including a bowling example
This practical and useful guide is aimed at chemistry and chemical engineering students as well as general readers interested in running experiments in these disciplines. Video supplements to support comprehension of each lab and a solutions spreadsheet for Chapter 1 are available for download.
| Core Structural Concept |
Lab-At-Home & Chemistry Principle |
Academic Target & Application |
| Decentralized Lab Mechanics |
Focuses on translating traditional collegiate wet-lab setups into secure, micro-scale residential environments. Maps standard stoichiometry, reaction kinetics, and titration steps using readily accessible components. |
Students: Gain hands-on experimental proficiency and analytical laboratory tracking routines entirely outside physical campus walls. |
| Green Engineering Diagnostics |
Outlines essential sustainable engineering principles, focusing on mass balance tracking, renewable catalysts, energy efficiency computations, and non-toxic chemical recycling protocols. |
Teachers: Delivers authentic structural case models to structure chemical engineering workflows and homework testing loops in hybrid settings. |
| Quantitative Data Modeling |
Maps out rigorous error analysis techniques, guiding students to process experimental dataset variables, construct regression models, and format scientific research logs over the air. |
Students: Cultivate robust systems-thinking habits, learning to process statistical physical deviations rather than flat textbook inputs. |
| Household Safety Metrics |
Enforces explicit domestic containment protocols, detailing personal protective equipment (PPE) rules, heat mitigation adjustments, and comprehensive emergency remediation scripts. |
Teachers & Students: Bridges the gap between intense chemical reactivity and risk-free residential processing environments. |
| Flexible Licensing Access |
Features critical, scalable distribution variables providing multi-tier seat provisioning tiers across 180-Day, 365-Day, and Perpetual structural usage licenses. |
Administrators: Aligns institutional digital software spend directly with single-term blocks, full-year lines, or long-term core science library reference assets. |
