Is it a valid test if an organism that possesses cytochrome c oxidase and the reagent begins to turn blue at 45 seconds?

No, it is not valid. Results need to be read within 20 seconds because oxygen in the area quickly distorts the results in an experiment of this kind.

Give explanation why the Oxidase test identifies the presence of cytochrome c oxidase and not the other electron carriers?
An oxidase test relies on a reagent that will change colors when it is oxidized. The reagent used in the test only reacts to cytochrome c oxidase by acting in place of oxygen to receive electrons from the cytochrome.
What is the function of the test reagent in the oxidase test?
The ability of bacteria to produce cytochrome oxidase can be determined by the addition of the test reagent p-aminodimethylaniline oxalate to colonies grown on a plate medium.

How does one determine which reagent is a limiting reagent?
To determine the limiting reagent, you must first determine moles of each reactant, and then look at the mole ratios among the reactants to see which one is in the least supply. That one will be the limiting reagent.
