Question 8.7: The [OH^-] of a strongly basic solution is 1.0 × 10^-2. What...

The [OH^{-}] of a strongly basic solution is 1.0 × 10^{-2}. What are the pOH and pH of this solution?

 

Strategy
When given the [OH^{-}], determine the pOH by taking the negative
logarithm. To calculate the pH, subtract the pOH from 14.

The blue check mark means that this solution has been answered and checked by an expert. This guarantees that the final answer is accurate.
