Hey, I can't figure out what to do with this problem. It states "
in an attempt to titrate a 50.0mL solution of 2.50M KOH, you accidentally added 57.4mL of 3.05M HCl, which you then realized was too much. To obtain a neutralized solution, you know you need to add a base, but all you have left is 1.15M NaOH. How much NaOH (in mL) should you add?"

So, I set up the original equation as 2KOH +2HCl - 2KCl +2H20 and figured out the # of moles and the grams of both of the reactants.

I know that the base should neutralize the acid, but I just don't know what to do next. Thanks!
