Explanation / Answer

part A

formula for nitrogen dioxide = NO2

formula for water = H2O

formula fo rnitric acid = HNO3

fromula for nitrous acid is HNO2

now balanced equation is

2 NO2 + H2O --------> HNO3 + HNO2

part B

2NO2 (g) + light ----> 2NO + O2 (g)

decomposition of nitrogen dioxide in prescence of light gives

nitrogen monoxide + oxygen gas
