16. The concentration of a solution of potassium hydroxide is determined by titration with nitric acid. A 30.0 mL sample of KOH is neutralized by 42.7 mL of 0.498 M HNO3. What is the
concentration of the potassium hydroxide solution?

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the reaction between potassium hydroxide and nitric acid is:

We can see a 1:1 mole ratio between the acid and base, therefore, for the titration analysis, we find the following equality at the equivalence point:

That in terms of molarities and volumes is:

Thus, solving the molarity of the base (KOH), we obtain:
