ANSWER

The pH is 7.302

EXPLANATION

Given that

[tex]\text{ \lbrack OH}^-\text{ \rbrack }=\text{ 2.0 }\times\text{ 10}^{-7}[/tex]

Follow the steps below to find the the pH

Step 1; Write the formula for calculating pOH

[tex]\text{ pOH = -log \lbrack OH}^-\text{ \rbrack}[/tex]

Step 2; Substitute the value of [OH^-] = 2.0 x 10 ^-7

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ pOH = -log \lbrack 2.0 }\times\text{ 10}^{-7\text{ }}\text{ \rbrack} \\ \text{ pOH = 6.698} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Recall, that pH + pOH = 14

Hence, we can find pH

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ pH + pOH = 14} \\ \text{ pH + 6.698 = 14} \\ \text{ pH = 14 - 6.698} \\ \text{ pH = 7.302} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the pH is 7.302
