Ba(OH)2 + HNO3 yields Ba(NO3)2 + H2O

1. balance the equation
2. calculate the moles of barium hydroxide in 18.2 milliliters of 0.45 molar barium hydroxide.
3. according to the soichiometry of the reaction and the moles of barium hydroxide calculated in 2. calculate how many moles of nitric acid are in the 38.5 milliliters of nitric acid.
4. Divide the number of moles of nitric acid calculated in 3 by the volume in liters to calculate the molarity
