Re: h2 college chemistryStart by writing out the redox reaction equation for the nitrite ions and permanganate ions by combining these two.
Permanganate reduction: 8 H+ + MnO4− + 5 e− → Mn2+ + 4 H2O
Nitrite oxidation: NO2- + H2O → NO3- + 2H+ + 2e-
This should give you the ratio of nitrite ions that react with the permanganate.
