    Anyone know how to solve this chemistry problem?

    'What is the molarity of an NaOH solution if 15.0mL is exactly neutralized by 7.5 mL of a 0.02 M HC2H3O2 solution'
    My teacher told us the answer is 1M, but I keep getting .01 for my answer and have no clue what I'm doing wrong. My work is:
    (15.0mL)(x)=(7.5mL)(.02M)

    You are right, it's 0.01 M

    moles acid = 7.5mL * 0.02 M=0.15
    M = 0.15/15 = 0.01

    Actually, pretty sure .01M is correct.
    (oops, beat to it, but your set-up is correct. Bug your teacher about it)
