Copper reduces $NO_{3}^{-}$ into $NO$ and $NO_{2}$ depending upon the concentration of $HNO_{3}$ in solution. Assuming fixed $[Cu^{2+}]$ and $P_{NO} = P_{NO_{2}} = 1 \ bar$,the $HNO_{3}$ concentration at which the thermodynamic tendency for reduction of $NO_{3}^{-}$ into $NO$ and $NO_{2}$ by copper is the same is $10^{x} \ M$. The value of $2x$ is ...... .
$[Given: E_{Cu^{2+} / Cu}^{\circ} = 0.34 \ V, E_{NO_{3}^{-} / NO}^{\circ} = 0.96 \ V, E_{NO_{3}^{-} / NO_{2}}^{\circ} = 0.79 \ V$ and at $298 \ K, \frac{RT}{F}(2.303) = 0.059]$
