Porter Cruz · Answer 1

The concentration of NaOH is calculated as follows

calculate the moles of HNO3

moles = molarity x volume

=18.50 x0.1430 = 2.6455 moles

write the reacting equation

that is

NaOH + HNO3 = NaNO3 + H2O

by use mole ratio between NaOH: HNO3 the moles of NaOH is also 2.6455moles

concentration is therefore moles/volume

= 2.6455 / 22.50 = 0.118M
