Question
Predict the products of the following acid-base reactions, and predict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equations $$\ce{NO2- + H2O -> ?}$$
I thought it would be $\ce{NO2- + H2O -> HNO2 + OH-}$, but my textbook says that the correct products are $\ce{HNO3}$ and $\ce{OH-}$. What am I doing wrong here? The answer that they give doesn't even seem to balance.
