When the same species undergoes both oxidation and reduction in a single redox reaction, this is referred to as a disproportionation. Therefore, divide it into two equal reactions.
NO2→NO^−3
NO2→NO
and do the usual changes
First, balance the two half reactions:
3. NO2 +H2O →NO^−3 + 2 H^+ + e−
4. NO2 +2 H^+ + 2e− → NO + H2O
Now multiply one or both half-reactions to ensure that each has the same number of electrons. Here, Eqn (3) x 2 results in each half-reaction having two electrons:
5. 2 NO2 + 2 H2O → 2 NO^−3 + 4H^+ + 2e−
Now add Eqn 4 and 5 (the electrons now cancel each other):
3NO2 + 2H^+ + 2H2O → NO + 2 NO−3 + H2O + 4H+
and cancel terms that’s common to both sides:
3NO2 + H2O → NO + 2NO^−3 + 2H+
This is the net ionic equation describing the oxidation of NO2 to NO3 in basic solution.

Answer:
Your questions requires diagrams of the cell to get which one is on the left or right. However, see the attached file below
The correct answer is (d) the left half-cell will decrease in concentration; and the right half-cell will increase in concentration.
Explanation:
The concentration of the Pb2+ increases in the oxidation half cell while the concentration of the Pb2+ decreases in the reduction half cell during the reaction.
In the Left Beaker (Left half cell), their is less concentration
Pb(s) ---> Pb2+(aq) + 2 e- Concentration of Pb2+(aq) increase ; Electrons going out from this side
In the Right Beaker (right half cell), their is more concentration
Pb2+(aq) + 2 e- ---> Pb(s) Concentration of Pb2+(aq) decrease ; Electrons coming in to this side
Electrons will flow from Left to Right direction.
If it gains an electron it will be negatively charged and if it loses an electron it will be positively charged
It would be the controlled variable, which is a baseline to compare your other variables too.
Hope this helps!
