How would you distinguish 6.25% NaNO2 + 93.75% NaCl from 99.5% NaNO2 by blood color? I presume, both can do nearly the same thing with the blood (I couldn't find any data on sensitivity of this method).Isn't the blood test a good way to judge sodium nitrite, or does sodium nitrate turn blood brown too?
The percent of NaNO2 can be roughly estimated using chemical reactions that produce gases whose volume would be easy to measure (for example, dinitrogen monoxide produced in a reaction with hydroxylammonium chloride or nitrogen produced in a reaction with ammonium chloride).
