    Explanation:

    Balanced equation of the reaction:

    HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H₂O (l)

    mole of acid = mole of base

    75 * 0.150 = volume of base needed * 0.3

    volume of base needed = 37.5 ml

    excess OH = 0.3 * 37.5 ml / 150 ml where total volume = 75 ml + 75 ml = 150 ml

    excess OH = 0.075 M

    pOH = - log (OH⁻) = - log (0.075 M) = 1.125

    pH + pOH = 14

    pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.125 = 12.875
