Mg can reduce NO−3 to NH3 in basic medium.
NO−3(aq)+Mg(s)+H2O→Mg(OH)2(s)+OH−(aq)+NH3(g)
A 25.0 mL sample of NO−3 solution was treated with Mg(s). The NH3(g) was passed into 100 mL of 0.15 N HCl.
The excess of HCl required 32.10 mL of 0.10 N NaOH for neutralization. What was the molarity of NO−3 ions in the original sample?
