Neutralization question

How many milliliters of 0.50N HCl are needed to neutralize 40 mL of 0.80N NaOH?

What I did was first write an equation.

NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O

then I found the mole of NaOH by going n = c x v = 0.032

there is a ratio of 1:1 so n(NaCl) = n(HCl) = 0.032

Volume = n / c = 0.032/0.5 = 0.064L

that's the answer.. i should think.

Ref: http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=9037.0
4.) Please show that you've at least attempted the problem.  We don't mind helping you solve problems but we are ethically opposed to doing homework for you. Violators will have their topic deleted or locked.

6.) Saying something like, "I don't get kinetics can you explain it to me?", or "My teacher sucks can you explain quantum mechanics?" will get you no responses on this forum. It's not that we don't want to help you; it’s that your question is too broad. You need to have very concise questions about kinetics or quantum mechanics in order for us to help you.

I almost locked this thread because of the above cited reason.

HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O

The stoichiometric ratio for HCl: NaOH is 1:1, so
volume of HCl required = (1/1)  * (40*0.80) / (0.50) = 64ml = 0.064L
