Calculate the equivalence-point volume in the titration of 50.00 mL of 0.0884 M nitric acid with 0.0980 M NaOH. The titration curve for this system appears in Figure 16.2.

Strategy

Use the concentration and volume of the acid (both given) to calculate the number of moles of acid. Then use the stoichiometry to calculate the number of moles of base needed to react with the acid. Last, use the concentration of base (given) as a conversion factor to calculate the volume of base needed.
