Answer:

NO_2 cannot dried because of adding water substance.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is a non-metal. Oxides of a non-metal is usually acidic in nature. Hence a disproportionate reaction takes place between basic NaOH and acidic NO_2.

The compounds formed are NaNO_2 + NaNO_3 + WATER. Hence the compound is not dried but due to the reaction water is added to the substance. This also occurs with Potassium hydroxide. The oxidation state in the reaction changes from +4 to +3 and +5.
