The number of moles of KOH in the reaction is 5 moles.

To solve this problem

We need to use the balanced equation for the reaction. The balanced equation is:


KOH + HCl - > KCl + H_2O

One mole of KOH and one mole of HCl react to form one mole of KCl and one mole of water
(H_2O), as can be shown from the equation.

We can infer that since you have 5 moles of HCl, you also have 5 moles of KOH. This is due to the balanced equation's 1:1 KOH to HCl ratio.

So, the number of moles of KOH in the reaction is 5 moles.
