What is the pOH of a solution with [H3O+] = 8.2 x 10-5M?

The pOH of the solution is 9.914

Explanation:

pH is given as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydronium ion concentration [H₃O⁺] that is

pH= - log [H₃O⁺]

Since we are given  [H₃O⁺]=8.2 x 10⁻⁵,

pH=- log (8.2 x 10⁻⁵)

pH= 4.086

The pOH gives s the measurement of the concentration of OH− ions, Hence,

pH + pOH= 14

from the above calculation, we got  pH=4.086

So

4.086 + pOH=14

pOH= 14 - 4.086

pOH= 9.914

The pOH of the solution is 9.914
