We first write the equation of the reaction.

2 KOH (aq) + CO₂ (g) —> K₂CO₃ (aq) + H₂O (l)

The mole ratio of KOH : K₂CO₃ is : 2:1

Given that the moles of CO₂ dissolved is 0.001 moles, we can get the volume of CO₂ dissolved.

1 mole of CO₂ is 22400 cm³ at stp.

Therefore :

0.001 × 22400 = 22.4 cm³

The total volume of the resulting solution is thus :

200 + 22.4 = 222.4 cm³

The moles of KOH in 200 cm³ is :

(200/1000) × 0.1 = 0.02 moles.

The mole ratio is 2 : 1

Thus moles of KCO₃ is : 0.02/2 = 0.01 moles.

The resulting solution is 222.4cm ³ thus the molarity of KCO₃ is :

[1000 /222.4] × 0.01 = 0.04496 M
