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 ...... .
