Question

Briefly describe how water reacts with the Nitrogen dioxide, stating experimental conditions and write balanced chemical equations for the same

Answer 1

• Non-metal oxides react with water to form acids.
• Nitrogen dioxide which is a nonmetallic oxide reacts with water to form nitric acid.
• Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to form nitric acid and nitrous acid.
• Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water under normal condition vigorously.
• $2{\mathrm{NO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to {\mathrm{HNO}}_2\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{HNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)$
