Hi guys!
I am given this equation: 3NO2+H2O-> 2HNO3+NO and asked to identify if this is redox reaction.
I've assigned each atoms its oxidation numbers and found out that O and H do not experience any oxidation number change except for N.
Since I thought that there should be two atoms with oxidation number changes(given oxidation and redux should happen simultaneously), I chose my answer to "No, this is not a redox reaction"
But I was WRONG! It says if at least one atom has...
