Nitrous Acid (Hno2) Is Both A Good Oxidizer And A Good Reducer. Why?

(1) because HNO2 is a weak acid, which means it can act as both an acid and a very weak base (2) because the oxygen in HNO2 is a good oxidizer, but not as good an oxidizer as the oxygen in HNO3 (3) because HNO2 contains the strong reducer hydrogen and the strong oxidizer oxygen (4) because the oxidation state of H in HNO2 is +1, and H can have oxidation states from -1 to +1 (5) because the oxidation state of N in HNO2 is +3, and N can have oxidation states from -3 to +5
