Answer: The correct answer is 1.8 M NaOH.

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction for the neutralization of NaOH with HCl follows:


NaOH+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

To calculate the molarity of the NaOH for neutralization, we use the equation:


M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,


M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of HCl.


M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of NaOH.

We are given:


M_1=1.2M\\V_1=30mL\\M_2=?M\\V_2=20mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:


1.2* 30=M_2* 20\\\\M_2=1.8M

Hence, the correct answer is 1.8 M NaOH.
