You have not laid out the starting conditions of the problem....
Explanation:
We assume that the nitric acid is NEUTRALIZED by the addition of the calcium hydroxide.
We need a stoichiometric equation:
And so there are TWO equiv of nitric acid...that are dissolved in the
The question is poor, and does not reflect chemical reality. Calcium hydroxide is rather insoluble in aqueous solution, and would not support a concentration of
