If 40mL of 2.50M HCl neutralizes 500ml. of KOH, what is the molarity of the KOH?

The molarity of the 500 mL KOH solution needed to neutralize the 40 mL of 2.50 M HCl is 0.2 M

Balanced equation

HCl + KOH —> KCl + H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nA) = 1

The mole ratio of the base, KOH (nB) = 1

How to determine the molarity of KOH

  • Volume of acid, HCl (Va) = 40 mL
  • Molarity of acid, HCl (Ma) = 2.5 M
  • Volume of base, KOH (Vb) = 500 mL
  • Molarity of base, KOH (Mb) =?

MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB

(2.5 × 40) / (0.15 × Vb) = 1

100 / (Mb × 500) = 1

Cross multiply

Mb × 500 = 100

Divide both side by 500

Mb = 100 / 500

Mb = 0.2 M

Thus, the molarity of the KOH solution needed is 0.2 M
