How many kilograms of caustic potash are required to completely neutralise 5 kg of hydrochloric acid?

Solution

KOH with 56 space straight g below space plus space HCl with 36.5 space straight g below space identical to space space KCl space plus straight H subscript 2 straight O
    36.5 space straight g space HCl space identical to space space 56 space straight g space KOH
    5000 space straight g space HCl space space identical to space fraction numerator 56 over denominator 36.5 end fraction cross times 5000 space
space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals space 7.671 space Kg space KOH
