Approx. -=60*mL

Explanation:

We use the relationship: "Moles of stuff"/"Volume of solution"="Molarity".

There are 2xx20xx10^-3*Lxx0.150*mol*L^-1=6.00xx10^-3*mol Ba(OH)_2, and this is neutralized according to the following equation:

Ba(OH)_2(s) + 2HCl(aq)rarrBaCl_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l)

Given the "STOICHIOMETRY", we need 2 equiv of hydrochloric acid, and given 0.200*mol*L^-1 HCl(aq) we need a volume of..........

(6.00xx10^-3*cancel(mol)xx2)/(0.200*cancel(mol)*L^-1)=0.0600*L

-=60*mL
