You need to specify the concentration, the molarity of the nitric acid.
Explanation:
Concentrated nitric acid, is approx. a
We need (i) a stoichiometrically balanced equation:
Mass and charge are balanced as required, and (ii), equivalent quantitites of acid:
Given the stoichiometry of the equation, this will neutralize
This has an equivalent mass of
