Often, you are just trying to write the equations as one big equation.  It is easier to follow what is going on if we write them one at a time; CH3)3CCl + H2O --> (CH3)3COH + Cl- + H+ this reaction produces tert butyl alcohol, which we can not measure directly. so we titrate the solution with NaOH, and the parts that react with the base is H+ H+  + Cl-    +   NaOH  ->   H2O and Na+ and Cl- we can determine when we have reached the endpoint with the help of the indicator. since every mole of NaOH reacts with a mole of H+.  if we know the moles NaOH used we can find the moles of H+ created. In the first equation, we learn that every mole of tert butyl chloride produces 1 mole of H+ and 1 mole of tert butyl alcohol (our desired product).  therefore moles NaOH = moles H+  = moles tert butyl alcohol. explain how you can calculate product concentration.

Question

Often, you are just trying to write the equations as one big equation.  It is easier to follow what is going on if we write them one at a time;
CH3)3CCl + H2O --> (CH3)3COH + Cl- + H+
this reaction produces tert butyl alcohol, which we can not measure directly. so we titrate the solution with NaOH, and the parts that react with the base is H+
H+  + Cl-    +   NaOH  ->   H2O and Na+ and Cl-

we can determine when we have reached the endpoint with the help of the indicator. since every mole of NaOH reacts with a mole of H+.  if we know the moles NaOH used we can find the moles of H+ created. In the first equation, we learn that every mole of tert butyl chloride produces 1 mole of H+ and 1 mole of tert butyl alcohol (our desired product). 
therefore moles NaOH = moles H+  = moles tert butyl alcohol.

explain how you can calculate product concentration.
