In a titration, a 25.0 cm3 sample of phosphoric acid, H3PO4\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4H3​PO4​, of unknown concentration is titrated with 0.180 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH\text{NaOH}NaOH.

H3PO4+3NaOH→Na3PO4+3H2O \text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 + 3\text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4 + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} H3​PO4​+3NaOH→Na3​PO4​+3H2​O

It is found that 21.50 cm3 of the sodium hydroxide solution is required to completely neutralise the phosphoric acid.

Calculate the concentration of the phosphoric acid solution in mol/dm3\text{mol/dm}^3mol/dm3. Give your answer to three significant figures.
