Neutralization:
HNO3 + NaOH -> NaNO3 + H2O
Decomposition by heating:
NaNO3 -> NaNO2 + 1/2 O2
Preparation of HNO2:
NaNO2 + HCl -> HNO2 + NaCl
HNO3 is stronger than HNO2 because it has one more oxygen atom, making it a stronger acid. The presence of more oxygen atoms leads to greater electronegativity and more stability in the resulting conjugate base after donating a proton, resulting in increased acidity.
Nitrous acid in solution can be written as HNO2(aq).
It produces Nitric acid(HNO3) and Nitrous acid(HNO2), when reacted with water
HNO2 is the correct formula for Nitrous acid.
HNO2 => H^(+) & NO2^(-) are the ions present. NOTE Nitrous acid is ' HNO2' ; Nitric Acid is HNO3 .

HNO2 is the correct formula for Nitrous acid.
IUPAC name is Nitric Acid (HNO3) Do not confuse with 'Nitrous Acid (HNO2)
HNO3 (nitric acid) is ionic.
HNO2 is nitrous acid. It is not to be confused with nitric acid, which is HNO3
HNO2 => H^(+) & NO2^(-) are the ions present. NOTE Nitrous acid is ' HNO2' ; Nitric Acid is HNO3 .
H2O + 2NO2 -----> HNO3 + HNO2 a mixture of nitric and nitrous acid. The nitrous acid gets further oxidized by oxygen to nitric acid.
The chemical formula (not symbol) of the nitrous acid is HNO2.
HNO3 is Nitric Acid Compare with HNO2 ; Nitrous Acid. Note the difference in the formulas and the names. Accounted for by the different oxidation states of nitrogen .
This yields nitric and nitous acid (1 to 1) H2O + 2 NO2 --> HNO2 + HNO3
