    Moles = Molarity * Volume

    For HCl, Moles = 60 x 10^-3 * 1.2 x 10^-3 = 7.2 x 10^-5 moles

    For NaOH Moles = 200 x 10^-3 * 5 x 10^-4 = 10 x 10^-5 moles

    NaOh + HCl - > NaCl + H2O

    7.2 x 10^-5 moles HCl reacts with 7.2 x 10^-5 moles NaOH to form NaCl and H2O

    After reaction, Moles of NaOH left = 10 x 10^-5 - 7.2 x 10 ^-5 = 2.8 x 10^-5 moles

    Now volume = 260 mL = 200 + 60. So, [OH-] = 2.8 x 10^-5 / 260 x 10^-3 = 0.010769 x 10^-2 = 1.0769 x 10^-4

    pOH = 3.679
