Probably nothing happens.
Re: Balancing the chemical equation
I think that manganese acetate is a basic substance, when that solution meets a strong acid like nitric acid, there will be an exchange reaction that creates a salt that neutralizes manganese nitrate and bubbles with CO2.

No, it's acetate not carbonate.

Re: Balancing the chemical equation
Manganous acetate (Mn(CH3COO)2) reacts with nitric acid (HNO3) to produce manganese nitrate (Mn(NO3)2), acetic acid (CH3COOH), water (H2O), and nitrogen dioxide gas (NO2). The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:
Mn(CH3COO)2 + 4HNO3 → Mn(NO3)2 + 2CH3COOH + 2H2O + 2NO2
Mn(CH3COO)2 + 4HNO3 → Mn(NO3)2 + 2CH3COOH + 2H2O + 2NO2

Re: Balancing the chemical equation
Your equation is not balanced.
Left side 10 H, right side 12
I dont see a redox reaction. If NO2 is developed ( it's a reduction from NO3- to NO2) something else has to be oxidised. Where is it in your equation.

Re: Balancing the chemical equation
The chemical equation for the reaction between manganous acetate (Mn(C2H3O2)2) and nitric acid (HNO3) can be balanced as follows:
Mn(C2H3O2)2 + 4HNO3 -> Mn(NO3)2 + 2CH3COOH + 2H2O
Balanced equation:
Mn(C2H3O2)2 + 4HNO3 -> Mn(NO3)2 + 2CH3COOH + 2H2O
In this balanced equation, the number of atoms of each element on both the reactant and product sides is equal. Please note that this is a simplified representation of the reaction, and in a real chemical reaction, various factors, including concentrations and reaction conditions, can affect the actual outcome.

Re: Balancing the chemical equation
Also not balanced. To much NO3-.
A mixture of manganese acetate and HNO3 gives only Mn 2+, NO3-, CH3COO- and H+ ions.
