Why do we not mix up some KNO3 to a proper level and dilute it down and use it as a test solution for our NO3 kits? I keep hearing that a NO3 level of 5 or even 10 could mean 0.
We all Know that our test kits are junk, but why not figure out how much KNO3 it would take to make a 10 PPM solution and see where we stand. Heck way not make a whole calibration curve set.
I am sure there is a chemist/math major who would love to figure this out.
granted it would take an accurate scale and a volumetic to perform.
but what accuracy are we looking at +- 10%
even with an accuracy of +-25% at 5 PPM is still way better then 0. using a tsp and a cup I bet I could get that accuracy.
unless KNO3 is hygroscopic, then nevermind. anyone have a desiccator.
