AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Compound**: The compound we are discussing is nitrous acid, which has the chemical formula HNO2. 2. **Determine the Oxidation State**: In nitrous acid (HNO2), the oxidation state of nitrogen (N) is +3. This can be determined by considering the overall charge of the molecule and the typical oxidation states of hydrogen and oxygen. 3. **Recognize the Reducing Property**: Nitrous acid can act as a reducing agent because it can be oxidized. Specifically, it can increase its oxidation state from +3 to +5, which is its maximum oxidation state. ...
