When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

se asume/se considera que el resto/la cantidad restante está unido(a) a...
85% del nitrógeno está en forma soluble, y 15% en forma insoluble.
Del 85%, solamente una proporción se presenta como amoniaco, nitratos y nitritos. La parte faltante está unida a otros compuestos. Así pues: "El resto/la parte restante (para alcanzar el equilibrio estequiométrico de 85% o 2,3 mg/L de nitrógeno soluble), se considera/asume que se encuentra unido(a) a la materia orgánica en disolución."
Igual con el nitrógeno insoluble:
"... o aproximadamente 15% de la concentración total de nitrógeno. Se considera que el nitrógeno insoluble está unido al detrito".
Saludos y buen fin de semana.

Sigo pensando en otra opción. Se me ocurre:
"Se asume/considera que el balance/equilibrio (de masa/estequiométrico) resulta cuando se toma en cuenta el nitrógeno (soluble) unido a la materia orgánica disuelta".
De esta forma se incluye el término balance/equilibrio (de masa/estequiométrico) en la frase, aunque es más largo y se desvía un poco del original, pero esa es la idea que quieren transmitir en inglés.
