Nitrate analysis
Nitrate Test
10 ml volumetric flask add - 9ml water - spatula zinc powder - 2 drops acetic acid 100% shake well add N=2 reagenz
add Nitrate standard shake well nitrate is reduced to nitrite and reacts to red color
Copper analysis
PAN solution 4x10-3 mol L-1
1 - (2-Pyridrylazo)- 2-naphthol
CuSO4 1g/l = 0.254 g/l Cu
In 10 ml Kolben geben
Solution with copper 1ml 4x10-3 mol L-1 PAN 0.1 – 2.0-mL of 0.2 mol L-1 sulfuric acid Fill uo to 10ml with Deion water
H2SO4 25%= 250g/l = 2.5 mol/l
add to 10ml volumetric flask
10 ml solution with copper (0.2 - 10 mg/l Cu) 1 T H2SO4 25% 0.1 ml PAN (5mg/10ml in Ethanol)
