  1. The secret to working these problems is to know where you are on the titration curve and solve accordingly.
    a) At the beginning, you have pure HCl.
    b) moles = M x L
    c) moles KOH = M x L. Subtract from moles HCl initially. The difference is the moles HCl left.
    d) moles HCl = moles KOH
    e) What salt do you have at the equivalence point? That's NaCl, the salt of a strong acid and strong base. The pH is determined by the hydrolysis of the salt.
    f) moles KOH = M x L. Subtract moles HCl. The difference is the moles KOH in excess (note the difference between this and part (c).
