2. Sodium carbonate
3. Ammonium chloride? It's either that or boric acid.

1. Aside from the powders on the list, name one other substance that would test positive in Benedict's.
2. You observe a hair with a thick medulla and ovoid bodies present in the cortex. What organism did this hair come from?
3. A suspect who does 3D printing as a hobby would be associated with what plastic?
