There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. For this we need the neutralization reaction of HCl and NaOH which is:

HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O

Calculation is as follows:

Molarity of NaOH = (0.132 M HCl) (.0174 L) (1 mol NaOH / 1 mol HCl) /.025 L solution = 0.1 mol NaOH / L = 0.1 M
