What is the poH of a
2.6 x 10-6 M H+ solution?
pOH = [?]

pOH = 8.41

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following information:

Concentration of Hydrogen ion [H⁺] = 2.6×10¯⁶ M

pOH =?

Next, we shall determine the pH of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Concentration of Hydrogen ion [H⁺] = 2.6×10¯⁶ M

pH =?

pH = – Log [H⁺]

pH = – Log (2.6×10¯⁶)

pH = 5.59

Finally, we shall determine the pOH of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

pH = 5.59

pOH =?

pH + pOH = 14

5.59 + pOH = 14

Collect like terms

pOH = 14 – 5.59

pOH = 8.41

Therefore, the pOH of the solution is 8.41
