Name three oxacids of nitrogen. Write the disproportionation reaction of that oxacid of nitrogen in which nitrogen is in +3 oxidation state.

Answer»

Solution :Three oxoacids of nitrogen are : (i) `HNO_(2)`, NITROUS acid (ii) `HNO_(3)`, nitric acid and `H_(2)N_(2)O_(2)`, hyponitrous acid. O.S. of N in `HNO_(2) = (+1) + x + 2 (-2) = 0 or x = +3`
`OVERSET(+3)(3HNO_(2))overset("Disproportionation")(rarr) overset(+5)(HNO)_(3)+overset(+2)(2NO) + H_(2)O`
