Answer:

0.074M is concentration of the HNO₃ solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction of neutralization of nitric acid, HNO₃ with NaOH is:

HNO₃ + NaOH → H₂O + NaNO₃

Where 1 mole of nitric acid reacts per mole of NaOH

Based on the chemical reaction, the moles of NaOH at equivalence point are equal to moles of HNO₃ presents in the solution. With the moles and the volume we can find molarity as follows:

Moles NaOH = Moles HNO₃:

0.14L * (0.2mol NaOH / L) = 0.028mol NaOH = 0.028mol HNO₃

Molarity:

0.028mol HNO₃ / 0.38L =

0.074M is concentration of the HNO₃ solution
