Bilugan ang LETRA ng tamang sagot:
1. What do you mean by using “random” glassware?
a. Pre – selected clean glassware in a set for a specific sample, for a specific purpose.
b. Choosing clean glassware without conscious decision or method in a set.
c. Labeled clean glassware intended for analysis.
2. What is our reference method for the acid digestion of metals in water & wastewater?
a. SMEWW 23rd Edition – 3030F.
b. SMEWW 23rd Edition – 3030B.
c. SMEWW 22rd Edition – 3030F.
3. What do we use to collect a representative sample from a bottle of liquid sample?
a. Volumetric pipet
b. Measuring pipet
c. Beaker
4. What is the document number of our Test procedure for metals digestion of water sample?
a. TP-MIN-15
b. TP-MIN-16
c. TP-MIN-18
5. An apparatus for producing suction or moving or collecting materials by suction?
a. Pipet
b. Volumetric flask
c. Laboratory aspirator
6. What is an example of samples that are not analyzed for hardness by metals digestion?
a. Raw water
b. Effluent water
c. Marine water
7. OMLI Laboratory numbers should be?
a. A repetition of the previous year.
b. Unique for each sample.
c. Chosen by the reception for a specific sample.
8. During visual inspection, it is noted that the influent is much dirtier than the effluent? Why?
a. Because it was mishandled by the sampling team & should be reported to the section head and resampled.
b. Because it’s raw untreated wastewater.
c. Because we used dirty sampling bottle.

9. What is the meaning of the acronym SMEWW?
a. Standard Methods for the Extraction of Water & Wastewater.
b. Standard Methodology for the Examination of Water & Wastewater.
c. Standard Methods for the Examination of Water & Wastewater.
10. Is it necessary to repeat the addition of 5mL of conc. HNO3 acid after the initial 5mL is added?
a. Yes, to ensure that the sample is properly digested with sufficient acid because the complexity for each sample is different.
b. No, we do it right the first time.
c. Both a & b are correct.
11. Rush samples should be duplicated? Why?
a. To make the customer happy.
b. Additional QA/QC measure to ensure quality of results since the amount of time is shortened.
c. To complete the set of samples in a batch.
12. Why do we need to rinse the sides of the beaker after digestion is complete?
a. To stop further digestion of sample and to prevent the digested sample from drying out.
b. To dissolve residue and precipitate on the side of the beaker & watch glass.
c. To further cool the sample from the hotplate.
13. How do we get a representative amount of sample from a bottle of sample?
a. Shake to mix and then collect the sample using a volumetric pipet directly into the sample bottle
b. Decant into a beaker, use stirring rod to mix the sample in the beaker and pipet the amount to another beaker.
c. Shake to mix, decant into a clean beaker, pipet the amount into another beaker.
14. What is the difference between Influent & Effluent?
a. Influent – flows in, effluent – flows out.
b. Influent – flows out, effluent – flows in.
c. No difference, both are water samples.
15. What is used to preserve water sample right after sampling has collected the sample?
a. Conc. HNO3 acid
b.20% HNO3 acid
c. Conc. HCl acid
