Answer:
In nitric acid, the oxidation state of nitrogen is +5, that is the maximum oxidation state nitrogen can acquire in a compound. ... In case of nitrous acid, the oxidation state of nitrogen is +2. So it can get oxidised to +5 state and also get reduced to -3 state. Thus, it can act as both reducing agent and oxidising agent.
