The balanced equation for this reaction is:
HNO3 + NaOH ==> NaNO3 + H2O
We need to know the concentration of the standardized NaOH that was prepared in part A. Then, find moles NaOH in 28.35 ml (0.02835 L). That will be equal to moles HNO3 in 25 ml of the diluted acid solution. Finally, the molarity of the concentrated nitric acid can be found by moles/0.025 L and then multiplying that value by 50 to account for the dilution factor of 10.00 ml diluted to 500.00 ml
