What volume of 1.20 M nitric acid is needed to convert 5.5g of m-chlorophenol to 3-chloro-2,6-dinitrophenol?

I So far I have converted the 5.5g chlorophenol to mols and I got .043 mol. I know Volume * Molarity (1.2M)=moles. At this point I am stuck.

Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols chlorophenol to mols of HNO3 need to make the product. Then you know M = moles/L; L is the only unknown.
DrWLS is right. I wouldn't click on ORGO but if you wrote chemistry there for the subject you would have obtained a quicker answer.

Thank you I was able to work it out:
it's a 1:1 ratio so since 5.5g chlorophenol is .043 mols, nitric acid must be .043 mols as well.
V(1.20M) = .043mol
V= .036L
