Final answer:

The species that can be formed from H2NO3 is unclear due to H2NO3 not being a standard chemical formula. Potential species based on the context of nitrogen oxides reacting with water include nitrous acid (HNO2), nitric acid (HNO3), nitrite (NO2⁻), and nitrate (NO3⁻) ions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The species that can be formed from H2NO3 is ambiguous because H2NO3 is not a standard chemical formula. However, considering possible typos and the chemical context provided, one might refer to the reactions of oxides of nitrogen with water that form nitrogen-containing oxyacids.

Nitrogen(III) oxide, or N₂O3, reacts with water to form nitrous acid (HNO2). Nitrogen(IV) oxide, or NO2, disproportionates in water forming either a mixture of nitrous acid (HNO2) and nitric acid (HNO3) in cold water, or HNO3 and nitrogen monoxide (NO) at higher temperatures. And Nitrogen(V) oxide, or N₂O5, reacts with water to form nitric acid (HNO3).

Therefore, if H2NO3 is assumed to be a mistaken formula, possibly referring to nitrogen pentaoxide's reaction with water, the correct product would be nitric acid.

It is also noteworthy that nitrogen-containing species such as nitrite (NO2⁻) and nitrate (NO3⁻) ions are formed through biological oxidation processes involving ammonia oxidizing bacteria and nitrite oxidizing bacteria respectively.
