English term or phrase: Ammonia-N
I am translating a table of water characteristics and one of the terms is: Ammonia-N.

The terms are isolated in the table.
(Example)

Ammonia-N
Nitrate-N
TKN-N
...

Could it be translated as: Nitrógeno amoniacal? Or is there any other translation?

Thank in advance you for your help.

amoníaco-n


Explanation:
Nitrogen enters water in numerous forms, including both inorganic and organic forms (Figure 1). The primary inorganic forms of N are ammonia, ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite. Organic-nitrogen (organic-N) is found in proteins, amino acids, urea, living or dead organisms (i.e., algae and bacteria) and decaying plant material. Organic-N is usually determined from the laboratory method called total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), which measures a combination of organic N and ammonia+ammonium. Since N can transform from one form to another, it is often considered in its totality as total nitrogen (TN). This report most often refers to TN, but also at times focuses more specifically on the dominant form nitrate-N

Explanation:
Ammonia/nitrógeno amoniacal
Disolución de nitrógeno amoniacal (0,07 mol/L N-NH3) - https://www.gob.mx/cms/uploads/attachment/file/166772/NMX-AA...
El amoníaco (NH3) y el nitrógeno, el amoníaco (NH3-N) son diferentes expresiones de las formas químicas del amoníaco. La forma NH3-N utiliza el peso molecular del nitrógeno atómico (N). La forma NH3 utiliza el peso molecular del amoníaco (NH3), 1 átomo de nitrógeno + 3 átomos de hidrógeno - https://essupport.hach.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1026...
Ammonia (NH3) and nitrogen, ammonia (NH3-N) are different expressions of the chemical forms of ammonia. The NH3-N form uses the molecular weight of only the nitrogen atoms. The NH3 form uses the molecular weight of the entire ammonia molecule, 1 nitrogen atom + 3 hydrogen atoms. - https://support.hach.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/100007...
