A volume of $22.0\ \text{mL}$ of $0.180\ \text{mol/L}$ sodium nitrite is oxidised to nitrate by acidified potassium permanganate of concentration $0.0440\ \text{mol/L}$. The reaction is $2\text{MnO}_4^- + 5\text{NO}_2^- + 6\text{H}^+ \rightarrow 2\text{Mn}^{2+} + 5\text{NO}_3^- + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}$. What volume of the permanganate is needed?
