If true enter 1, else enter 0. NO−2 interferes in the 'ring test' of NO−3. A chemical method of removal of NO−2 is boiling the mixture with NH4Cl.
NO−2 is decomposed as follows:
NaNO2+NH4Cl△⟶NaCl+N2↑+2H2O

Solution
NO2− interferes in the ring test of NO3−.
To remove NO−2 from the solution, it is boiled with ammonium chloride solution. NO−2 decomposes to nitrogen. The reaction is as follows: NaNO2+NH4Cl△⟶NaCl+N2↑+2H2O
