using the water bath. Heat the third test tube directly in an open flame until the
temperature reaches 80oC. Use the thermometer to monitor the increase in the
temperature.
3. Simultaneously add the solutions prepared in procedure C1 to each test tube
prepared in procedure C2.
4. Compare the intensity of the blue color produced in the three test tubes.
5. Record all observations in the report sheet.
