if you look up the term Denitrification The formation of gaseous nitrogen and/or oxides of nitrogen from nitrate or nitrite by certain bacteria during ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION. Denitrification only occurs in ANAEROBIC or MICROAEROPHILIC conditions when there is sufficient organic carbon to support reaction. Denitrification may be used as a treatment technology to remove nitrogen oxides from liquid waste streams.

What does dermal nitrate test for?
In forensics, the dermal nitrate test detects the presence of unburned gunpowder and nitrate residue on the hands of a suspect.
Why is gas production not recognized as nitrate reduction when the organism is known fermenter?
Gas produced in a nitrate reduction test by an organism capable of the gas is unknown.
What is a test for nitrate ions?
A common nitrate test is known as the brown ring test or iron ring test.It can be performed by adding FeSO4 to the solution, then slowly adding concentrated sulfuric acid and watching for a brown ring on the test tube, which will indicate the presence of the nitrate ion.[Fe(H2O)5NO]SO4 forms a brown ring in the middle of the solution produced by the reaction;the 'NO' part of this complex comes from the auto-redox of nitrate NO3- to NO (and O2) by sulfuric acid.Note that the presence of nitrite ions will interfere with this test, reacting directly as 'NO'.Do NOT use nitric acid, since it gives nitrate ion which gives a positive result anyway).
Add a drop of silver nitrate to both a distilled water test tube and to the test tube containing the salt solution in the test tube. What do you observe?
Should be a white precipitate. Indicative of the presence of either Na or Mg. Wrong again people. Silver Nitrate is used to test for the presence of chloride ions. Such as those in your salt a.k.a sodium chloride and yes adding silver nitrate to your salt solution will create a white precipitate.
What is a brown ring test for analysis of nitrate anion using formula?
A nitrate test is a chemical test used to determine the presence of nitrate ion in solution. A common nitrate test, known as the brown ring test[1] can be performed by adding iron(II) sulfate to the solution, then slowly adding concentrated sulfuric acid (NOT nitric acid, for obvious reasons) and watching for a brown ring on the test tube, which will indicate the presence of the nitrate ion.[2] Note that the presence of nitrite ions will interfere with this test.[3]The test follows several phases; these have been written as balanced chemical equations: 1: 2 Zn(NO3)2 + 2 H2SO4 → 2 ZnSO4 + 4 HNO3 4 FeSO4 + 2 H2SO4 → 2 Fe2(SO4)3 + H2 These two reactions happen simultaneously. 2: 4 HNO3 → 2 H2O + 3O2 + 2 NO The Nitric Acid decomposes in the intense heat produced by the high concentrate Sulphuric Acid used. 3: 2 Fe2(SO4)3 + 2 H2 + 4 NO → 4 Fe.NO.SO4 + 2 H2SO4 The Fe.NO.SO4 forms a brown ring in the middle of the solution produced by the reaction, making it easy to identify the presence of nitrates in the water.

What does a positive presence-absence test indicate?
The Presence-Absence (P-A) test is a presumptive detection for coliforms.
Why does silver nitrate test provide negative result on the presence of a chloride ion?
Due to presence of chloride ion
Is biuret test suitable to test the presence of proteins in the urine?
Yes, the biuret test will indicate the presence of peptides. If it turns violet, it is a positive result.
What does a negative Benedicts test indicate?
A negative Benedict's test would indicate that there isn't any presence of reducing sugars in that particular substance.
What test can be used to confirm the presence of chlorine?
Add Silver Nitrate to it and a white precipitate should form
