Question

What is the pOH of an aqueous solution with a [ OH- ] = 3.76 x 10-9 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

8.4

Explanation:

pOH refers to a measure of hydroxide ion (OH-) concentration. It denotes the alkalinity of a solution. Aqueous solutions at 25 degrees Celsius with

If pOH is less than 7 then an aqueous solution is alkaline, if pOH is greater than 7 then an aqueous solution is acidic and if pOH is equal to 7 then an aqueous solution neutral.

$pOH=-\log \left [ OH^{-} \right ]$

$pOH=-\log \left [ 3.76\times 10^{-9} \right ]=8.4$
