In this post we will see a book titled Practical Inorganic Chemistry by O. J. Vorobyoca, K. M. Dunaeva, E. A. Ippolitova, and N. S. Tamm and was edited by V. I. Spitsyn.

Students using the
present textbook will acquaint themselves with procedures of work
in a modern laboratory. The latter include the carrying out of operations
in vacuum, synthesis in non-aqueous solvents, the conducting
of reactions in a gaseous medium (a fluidized bed, “transport” reactions)
or in liquefied gases, photolytic reduction and oxidation, and
the preparation of pure substances (sublimation, recrystallization,
extraction, chromatography, and distillation). Students will acquire
skill in handling glass and quartz ware on standard joints, cryostats,
thermostats, “dry” chambers, and simple measuring instruments.
The present book devotes a lot of space to the synthesis of the
most important inorganic compounds and the chemistry of the
elements. Since the book contains a large number of experiments and
syntheses, they cannot be performed by the students during the time
allotted for practical work, and the authors have divided the laboratory
works of each chapter into two parts. The first describes the
obligatory experiments, and the second, supplementary experiments
and syntheses.
The large number of diverse syntheses in the book enable the instructor
to vary the assignments to the students and thus expand
their chemical outlook.
The book was translated from the Russian by G. Leib and was first published by Mir in 1987.
