Answer:

2H⁺  + NO₃⁻  + 1e⁻ →  NO₂  + H₂O

Explanation:

NO₃⁻  →  NO₂

In left side, Nitrogen acts with +5 by oxidation number

In right side, the oxidation number is +4

This is a reduction reaction, because the oxidation number has decreased. So the N has gained electrons.

NO₃⁻  + 1e⁻ →  NO₂

In acidic medium, we have to add water, where there are less oxygens to ballance the amount. We have 2 O in left side, and 3 O in right side, so we have to add 1 H₂O on left side.

NO₃⁻  + 1e⁻ →  NO₂  + H₂O

Now that oxygens are ballanced, we have to ballance the hydrogens by adding protons in the opposite side

2H⁺  + NO₃⁻  + 1e⁻ →  NO₂  + H₂O

An ancient silver coin has a density of 10.49 g/cm3 at 20°C. If you break the coin that weighs 4.001 in half
Wittaler [7]

The density of each half of the coin is 10.49 g/cm3

In science density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume of an object.

Density is an intrinsic property.It is not affect by the amount of substance present.

This implies that each half of the broken coin must have the same density since it it is an inherent property of every silver material.

The density of each part of the coin therefore is  10.49 g/cm3.
