. How many milliliters of 0.20 M HCl are needed to exactly neutralize 40. milliliters of 0.40 M KOH

Answer:

$V_{HCl}=80mL$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reactants we identify the following chemical reaction:

$KOH+HCl\rightarrow KCl+H_2O$

Thus, we evidence a 1:1 molar ratio between KOH and HCl, therefore, for the complete neutralization we have equal number of moles, that in terms of molarities and volumes become:

$n_{HCl}=n_{KOH}\\\\M_{HCl}V_{HCl}=M_{KOH}V_{KOH}$
