Answer 1

Dear Student,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{N}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{present}\mathrm{in}+3\mathrm{oxidation}\mathrm{state}\mathrm{in}{\mathrm{HNO}}_2\mathrm{i}.\mathrm{e}.\mathrm{Nitrous}\mathrm{acid} \\ \mathrm{The}\mathrm{disproportionation}\mathrm{reaction}\mathrm{of}{\mathrm{HNO}}_2\mathrm{is} \\ 3\mathrm{H}\stackrel{+3}{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{O}}_2\to \mathrm{H}\stackrel{+5}{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{O}}_3+2\stackrel{+2}{\mathrm{N}}\mathrm{O}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O} \end{gathered}$$
