Nitrous acid is a weak, unstable acid. It decomposes into nitric acid HNO3 and nitric oxide NO.
Example Reactions:
• HNO2 + NaOH = NaNO2 + H2O
• 2NO2 + H2O = HNO2 + HNO3
• HC2H3O2 + KNO2 = KC2H3O2 + HNO2
• KOH + HNO2 = KNO2 + H2O
• HNO2 + LiOH = H2O + LiNO2
• H2O2 + HNO2 = H2O + HNO3
• HCl + NaNO2 = HNO2 + NaCl
• AgOH + HNO2 = AgNO2 + H2O
• N2O4 + H2O = HNO2 + HNO3
• KNO2 + HCl = KCl + HNO2
