KOH is a strong base and HBr is a strong acid and completely dissociates.
The balanced equation for the reaction is;
KOH + HBr ---> KBr + H₂O
Stoichiometry of acid to base is 1:1
The number of KOH moles reacted - 0.50 M / 1000 mL/L x 48.0 mL = 0.024 mol
number of HBr moles reacted - 0.25 M/ 1000 mL/L x 96.0 mL = 0.024 mol
the number of H⁺ ions are equal to number of OH⁻ ions.
Then the solution is neutral.
pH of neutral solutions at 25 °C is 7.
Therefore pH is 7
