Description:
Other Notes
Alloy (60% Cu, 40% Mg) for the reduction of nitrites and nitrates in weakly acidic or neutral solution for analysis (alternative to Devarda alloy)
Application
It was used in isotopic analyses for nitrogen where HNO3 was reduced to NH3, in a study to determine the physical properties of isotopic forms of inorganic acid-water azeotropes.
General description
Arnd′s alloy is mostly used as a reducing agent.
