16. The concentration of a solution of potassium hydroxide is determined by titration with nitric

____ [38]

Answer:

$M_{base}=0.709M$

Explanation:

Hello,

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

$KOH+HNO_3\rightarrow KNO_3+H_2O$

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:

$n_{acid}=n_{base}$
