The purpose of the unknown bacteria lab assignment was to select an unknown bacteria culture and‚ through a series of metabolic tests‚ identify which bacteria genus resided in the pure culture received. A nutrient broth inoculated with bacterial culture (numbered 45‚ henceforth referenced as U45) was selected and a streak plate was made to isolate a pure culture for use throughout the assignment. From the streak plate‚ several slides were made to determine the morphology of unknown 45. A Gram stain

Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness 9/12/2013 Abstract: Two sets of acid-base neutralization titrations were conducted for experimental analysis. The first set of titrations was to standardize a solution manufactured in the lab. An approximate solution of Na2EDTA of 0.004 M was titrated against a known solution of 1.000 g CaCO3/L to deter mine to exact molarity of the Na2EDTA. Ca2+ + Na2EDTA → CaEDTA + 2Na+ The second set of titrations was to use the now standardized Na2EDTA
