2. Add Reagent 1: Add 5 drops of Nitrite Reagent 1 to the test tube. Cap the test tube and gently invert it several times to mix the solution.
3. Add Reagent 2: Add 5 drops of Nitrite Reagent 2 to the test tube. Cap the test tube again and gently invert it several times to mix thoroughly.
4. וואַרטן אויף רעאַקציע: Allow the test tube to stand undisturbed for 5 minutes. During this time, the color of the solution will develop.
