Items/table: water bottles, purple liquid, 0.1M HCl & 0.1M NaOH bottles
“colorless” liquid in your tray – use transfer pipet (fill 2x/well)
Unknowns A & B (solids) in your tray; solid F and known NaCl on prep table
Unknowns C, D (liquids), E and F on prep table. Do not remove from prep table, bring microplate to prep table
