A brown-coloured mixture of two gases is obtained by reducing 6 N nitric acid with metallic copper. This mixture on cooling condenses to a blue liquid which on freezing (-30 oC) gives a blue solid. The correct statement for the blue liquid or solid is: 

1. It is referred to as the anhydride of nitrous acid.
2. It is an acidic oxide. Hence, it dissolves in alkalies producing nitrites.
3. It can also be prepared by the action of 50 % HNO3 on arsenious oxide and then cooling to 250 K.
4. All of the above.
