Assay (By indirect acid–base titrimetry). Weigh, to the nearest 0.1 mg, about 0.3 g of sample, and dissolve in 100 mL of water. Pass the solution through a cation-exchange column [Part 2: Titrimetric Methods; Ion-Exchange Column Assays; Method for IonExchange Column Assays] at a rate of about 5 mL/min, and collect the eluate in a 500 mL titration flask. Wash the resin in the column with water at a rate of about 10 mL/min, and collect in the same titration flask. Add 0.15 mL of phenolphthalein indicator solution to the flask, and titrate with 0.1 N sodium hydroxide. Continue the titration, as the washing proceeds, until 50 mL of eluate requires no further titration. One milliliter of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide corresponds to 0.008499 g of NaNO3.
Note: All water used in the assay must be carbon dioxide- and ammonia-free.
pH of a 5% Solution at 25.0 °C [Part 2: Direct Electrometric Methods; pH Potentiometry; pH Range; Procedure for pH of a 5% Solution at 25.0 °C].
Insoluble Matter [Part 2: Gravimetric Methods; Insoluble Matter]. Use 20 g dissolved in 100 mL of water.
Chloride [Part 2: Colorimetry and Turbidimetry; Chloride]. Use 1.0 g.
Iodate [Part 2: Direct Electrometric Methods; Specific Polarographic Procedures; Polarographic Procedure for Bromate and Iodate]. Use 10.0 g of sample, and dissolve in 25 mL. For the standard, add 0.05 mg of iodate ion (IO3).
Nitrite [Part 2: Direct Electrometric Methods; Specific Polarographic Procedures; Polarographic Procedure for Nitrate]. Use 1.0 g of sample and 0.01 mg of nitrite.
Phosphate [Part 2: Colorimetry and Turbidimetry; Phosphate; Procedure for Phosphate, Method 1 (Direct Molybdenum Blue)]. Dissolve 4.0 g in 25 mL of approximately 0.5 N sulfuric acid, and continue as described.

Sulfate [Part 2: Colorimetry and Turbidimetry; Sulfate; Procedure for Sulfate, Method 2]. Evaporate 3.0 g using 7 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid (1:1). Repeat the evaporation. Allow 30 min for turbidity to form.
Calcium and Magnesium (By flame AAS, [Part 2: Trace and Ultratrace Elemental Analysis; Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy; Analysis; Procedure for Flame AAS]).
