A mixture of NaCl and NaNO2 was to be used in processing meat to make sausage.

Before being used it was analyzed as follows: a 1.124 g portion of the mixture was dissolved
in water and acidified, converting NO2 to HNO2. The HNO2 that was formed was titrated
with 0.2000 N K2Cr2O7, which oxidized HNO2 to NO3.

b) How many moles of NaNO2 were in the 1.124 g sample?
