CWEA - Lab Analyst III Questions and Correct
Answers
What does COLOR measure?
✓ ~: Amount of color units (CU) in a sample. Color caused by natural metallic ions (Fe &
Mg) & industrial wastes.
What is the test summary for COLOR?
✓ ~: Sample -> Tubes -> Compare to color standards over light source
Which of the following techniques is used to isolate anionic surfactants (as MBAS) from the
sample matrix?
✓ ~: Extraction
In the cyanide determination, which one of the following is not an interference?
✓ ~: Halogenated aromatics
Which of the following is not a major interference in phenol determination?
✓ ~: Hydroxy derivatives of benzene
A freshly prepared sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution is standardized against primary
standard potassium acid phthalate (KHC8H4O4). 0.8000 grams of potassium acid phthalate
was dissolved into 50 mL CO2-free water. 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein were added. The
sample was titrated to a faint pink endpoint with 22 mLs sodium hydroxide. What is the
normality of the sodium hydroxide?

✓ ~: Volatile organic compound analysis
The test for inhibitory residues on glassware and plastic ware determines the toxic or
stimulatory effects of dishwashing detergents used for bacterial analysis. Which bacterial
genera is used for this test?
✓ ~: Enterobacter
