A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.<span />

Answer: 12.78ml
Explanation:
Given that:
Volume of KOH Vb = ?
Concentration of KOH Cb = 0.149 m
Volume of HBr Va = 17.0 ml
Concentration of HBr Ca = 0.112 m
The equation is as follows
HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KBr(aq) + H2O(l)
and the mole ratio of HBr to KOH is 1:1 (Na, Number of moles of HBr is 1; while Nb, number of moles of KOH is 1)
Then, to get the volume of a 0.149 m potassium hydroxide solution Vb, apply the formula (Ca x Va)/(Cb x Vb) = Na/Nb
(0.112 x 17.0)/(0.149 x Vb) = 1/1
(1.904)/(0.149Vb) = 1/1
cross multiply
1.904 x 1 = 0.149Vb x 1
1.904 = 0.149Vb
divide both sides by 0.149
1.904/0.149 = 0.149Vb/0.149
12.78ml = Vb
Thus, 12.78 ml of potassium hydroxide solution is required.
