Mixed two solutions containing, respectively, potassium hydroxide in the amount of 3 mol of the substance

Mixed two solutions containing, respectively, potassium hydroxide in the amount of 3 mol of the substance and hydrogen chloride in the amount of 2.25 mol of the substance. Determine the amount of the substance of the formed salt and the reaction of the medium in the solution after the reaction.

Given:
n (KOH) = 3 mol
n (HCl) = 2.25 mol

To find:
n (salt) -?
Wednesday -?

Solution:
1) Write the equation of a chemical reaction:
KOH + HCl => KCl + H2O;
2) The amount of HCl substance is in short supply, therefore, calculations will be carried out for it;
3) Determine the amount of substance KCl (taking into account the coefficients in the reaction equation):
n (KCl) = n (HCl) = 2.25 mol;
4) There is still KOH in the solution, so the reaction of the solution medium is alkaline.

Answer: The amount of KCl substance is 2.25 mol; the reaction of the medium is alkaline.
