22.4 – Use the Marsh Test to Detect Arsenic or AntimonyTable 1-1 summarizes how the lab sessions in this book map
to the experiments recommended by the College Board for
the AP Chemistry exam. Note that some of the recommended
experiments are completed in the first year and need not be
repeated in the second.For second-year (AP) chemistry students, allocate at least two
2-hour chemistry lab periods per week or one 4-hour lab period.
The following lab sessions (which assume that the preceding
group of labs has been completed in a first-year course) are a
good starting point:
