We find that 61.1 mL of an HCl solution
reacts exactly with 74.2 mL of 1.371 M KOH
solution.

Molarity is moles solute per liter of solution.
We know the volume of the HCl solution. If
we could find the moles of HCl in the solution
we could calculate the molarity.
We start by calculating the moles of KOH
present:

Using the mole-to-mole ratio from the bal-
anced
chemical
equation we
calculate the
moles of HCl needed to react with this amount
of KOH:
? mol HCl = 0

This is the number of moles of HCl needed to
react with the KOH and therefore the num-
ber of moles present in the 61.1 mL of HCl
solution. We can calculate the molarity of the
HCl solution by dividing the moles of HCl by
the volume of the HCl solution:
? M HCl =

From the balanced chemical equation, we
know that one mole of HCl is needed to re-
act with each mole of NaOH. We don’t have

enough HCl to react all the NaOH, so HCl is
our limiting reactant and will determine how
much NaCl is produced:
? mol NaCl = 0

We are asked to find the molarity of the salt
solution. Molarity is moles solute per liter of
solution.
The total volume of the resulting
solution will be the combined volume of the
two original solutions that were mixed:
? mL NaCl soln
= 200 mL NaCl + 150 mL NaCl
= 350 mL NaCl
We find the molarity of NaCl in the solution
by dividing the moles of NaCl by the volume
of the solution:
Molarity of NaCl =
