Solution:
80mL of 0.20MHCl=80×0.2 =16 millimol HCl 120mL of 0.15MKOH=120×0.15 =18 millimol KOH M1V1(HCl)<M2V2(KOH)
Thus, resulting solution is basic containing KCl and unreacted KOH KOH+HCl→KCl+H2O KOH=V1+V2M2V2−M1V1=20018−16=0.01M KCl formed =HCl used =16 millimoles =16×10−3mol in 200mL or 0.2L solution [KCl]=0.200L16×10−3=0.08M
