HNO2), an unstable, weakly acidic compound that has been prepared only in the form of cold, dilute solutions. It is useful in chemistry in converting amines into diazonium compounds, which are used in making azo dyes. It is usually prepared by acidifying a solution of one of its salts, the nitrites, which are more stable
Nitrite- any member of either of two classes of compounds derived from nitrous acid. Salts of nitrous acid are ionic compounds containing the nitrite ion, NO-2, and a positive ion such as Na+ in sodium nitrite (NaNO2). Esters of nitrous acid are covalent compounds having the structure R-O-N-O, in which R represents a carbon-containing combining group such as ethyl (C2H5) in ethyl nitrite.

Nitrous acid is not normally obtainable. It certainly isn't "battery acid". It is made in situ in reaction mixtures by acidifying sodium nitrite with hydrochloric acid.

don't play with battery acid. That's all I'm saying.
