Answer» Solution :Since oxidation STATE of N in `HNO_(2)`. +3, therefore, it can be increased to its MAXIMUM O.N. of +5 and hence it acts as a reducing it. For example, it reduces `KMnO_(4)` to MANGANES salts. `2KMnO_(4)+5HNO_(2)+3H_(2)SO_(4)toK_(2)SO_(4)+2MnSO_(4)+5HNO_(3)+3H_(2)O` For more such reactions, refer to 'Supplement Your Knowledge' |
