Answer:
pOH = 11.15
[OH⁻] = 7.079 × 10⁻¹² M
Explanation:
The pH of the solution is 2.85. We can find out pOH using the following relation:
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - pH
pOH = 14 - 2.85 = 11.15
From the definition of pOH we can look for [OH⁻].
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
- pOH = log [OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog (- pOH) = antilog (-11.15) = 7.079 × 10⁻¹² M
