Nitrogen determination
The Kjeldahl method is used to determine the nitrogen content of a sample. In this analysis, the sample is digested with a strong acid and the free nitrogen reacts to form ammonium sulfate.

Catalysts (tablets) are added to speed up this process. The next step is distillation followed by a titration. Several chemicals are required in this process. From acids for the digestion, to the volumetric solutions and indicators for the final titration.
