Nitrate test to 2.5 micrograms and a concentration of 1 in 25,000 parts. Devarda's alloy (Copper/Aluminium/Zinc) is a reducing agent. When reacted with nitrate in sodium hydroxide solution, ammonia is liberated. The ammonia formed may be detected by its characteristic odor, and by damp red litmus paper's turning blue, signalling that it is an alkali — very few gases other than ammonia evolved from wet chemistry are alkaline. Aluminium is the reducing agent in this reaction that will occur. Diphenylamine may be used as a wet chemical test for the presence of the nitrate ion. In this test, a solution of diphenylamine
Sullivan Branch day. The aluminum concentration at this point is 0.39 milligrams per liter and the load is per day. The acidity concentration is 6.70 milligrams per liter and the daily alkalinity load is . The alkalinity concentration is 5.33 milligrams per liter and the daily alkalinity load is . Downstream of the tributary Pigeon Run, the discharge of Sullivan Branch is 14,693,000 gallons per day. The concentrations of aluminum, acidity, and alkalinity are 0.37, 7.57, and 5.57 milligrams per liter, respectively. The daily load of aluminum is . The load of acidity is per day and the alkalinity load is per
