what are the products to the reaction of Dinitrogen tetroxide and distilled water?

I was given "dinitrogen tetroxide is added with distilled water" and told to tell the type of reaction and predict the products. At first I thought it would be a double replacement, but I don't think that looks right, so can anyone help?

Thanks!

This is a rather interesting kind of reaction, called a disproportionation. You start off with N in the + 4 oxidation state, and end up with equal amounts in the +3 and +5 states:

N2O4 + H2O = HNO3 + HNO2
