How long until sodium nitrite becomes sodium nitrate when exposed to oxygen?

How often can sodium nitrite be exposed to oxygen until it oxidizes into sodium nitrate and how long will the process take?

Rates of reaction depend (for a start) on (1) temperature, (2) concentrations, (3) pH, (4) phases of reactants, and (5) particle size (in the case of solids). It is impossible to answer this question generally.
