pipetting and diluting to a known volume in a volumetric
flask.
2. Bring standards to TA for preparation of an unknown
standard.
3. Obtain unknown samples.

The blue copy along with a completed cover sheet (stapled) will be due
1 week after completion of the experimental work. There will be a
final examination at the end of the course worth 20 points.
