Calculate the final pH of the resultant solution if: 5.0g of sodium hydroxide were completely dissolved in 120mL of distilled water and this solution was added to 200mL of 0.2mol.L^-1 nitric acid.

I've been trying to learn how to do this for ages but cannot, i cant find a video that seems relevant to the topic at all and has no examples similair to this question nor can i figure it out myself.

What is the limiting reagent?

[Desparate Bugga]

is that relevant at all? i didnt think that itd be necessary?

Yes, the problem of the limiting reagent is very important in this example. A strong base reacts with a strong acid, and the excess of base (or acid) determines the pH of the resulting solution.
