   Nitric acid equation!!
   
   1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
   we're doing reaction predictions and were given nitric acid to balance.
   
   
   
   2. Relevant equations
   
   Nitric acid yields nitrate+water
   NO3 --> NO2 + H2O but i've been up to a 36 for a constant and still can't get it..PLEASE HELP!!

   Take a look at your equation as written here. Do you see something on one side that is not on the other? Where did that come from? The equation will be much easier to balance if you have everything included.
