Covalently bonded, so its a base in water
The conjugate base of HNO2 is NO2-. When HNO2 loses a proton, it forms its conjugate base, nitrite ion (NO2-).
HPO4^2- is an acidic species as it can donate a proton (H+) in solution. NO2, on the other hand, can act as a base by accepting a proton. When mixed together, they can form a reaction where HPO4^2- donates a proton to NO2, leading to the formation of H2PO4^- and NO2^-.
Ka= [H+][NO2-] [HNO2]
HNO2 conjugate acid = one more hydrogen conjugate base = one less hydrogen
The nitrate ion (NO3-) is a so extremely weak base that it will gain no proton at all from water.(That's why HNO3 is a so strong acid that it 'splits' off ALL its protons. in water there is no molecule HNO3 remaining.)
NO2 is not a base. It is a nitrogen dioxide molecule which can act as an acidic gas when dissolved in water, forming nitric acid.

Potassium Nitrate is a salt
H2O is water NO2 is nitrogen dioxide they can react together in the atmosphere to form acid rain 2NO2 + H2O = HNO3 + HNO2 H2O is water NO2 is nitrogen dioxide they can react together in the atmosphere to form acid rain 2NO2 + H2O = HNO3 + HNO2
The name for NO2 is nitrogen dioxide. It is a reddish-brown gas with a sharp, acrid odor and is an important air pollutant contributing to smog and acid rain.
An acid and a base react to form water and a salt
water is responsible for ionization of acid and base, without water the terms acid and base are meaningless.
HNO2 => H^(+) & NO2^(-) are the ions present. NOTE Nitrous acid is ' HNO2' ; Nitric Acid is HNO3 .
