- Nitrous acid HNO2, the oxidation state of the nitrogen is +3. so it can be oxidised to +5 oxidation state or reduced to lesser oxidation state. So only HNO3 acts only as an oxidising agents but HNO2 acts as both an oxidising and reducing agent

Chemical weathering changes the molecular structure of rocks and soil. For instance, carbon dioxide from the air or soil sometimes combines with water in a process called carbonation. This produces a weak acid, called carbonic acid, that can dissolve rock.
