Aqueous solutions of HCl (525 mL, 0.0450 M; a strong acid) and KOH (125 mL, 0.0250 M; a strong base) are mixed. Calculate the pH of the solution after the neutralization reaction takes place.

Consider the following: neutralization reactions, stoichiometry, limiting and excess reagents, the concentration of the unreacted excess reagent in the mixed solution.

Important: Retain additional significant figures in your process to ensure an accurate response.
