In an experiment, 700 mL of 0.5 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to 600 mL of 0.5 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. The acid and base neutralize each other according to the equation: HCl + NaOH ---> NaCl + H2O

How many moles of acid and base were there originally?

The answer is 0.35 mole of HCl and 0.3 mole of NaOH

but, I can't seem to get that answer when I calculate it, so I'm not sure where I am going wrong.

Update: I figured it out.

.5 M x .7L = .35 mole of HCl

.5 M x .6L = .3 mole of NaOH
