A wastewater sample contains two nitrogen species, namely ammonia and nitrate. Consider the atomic weight of N, H, and O as 14 g/mol, 1 g/mol, and 16 g/mol, respectively. In this wastewater, the concentration of ammonia is 34 mg NH3/liter and that of nitrate is 6.2 mg 3 NO3/liter. The total nitrogen concentration in this wastewater is
