The pH <strong>of</strong> a solution is 10.5<br />

Calculate the OH - concentration <strong>of</strong><br />

the solution.<br />

pH = -log [H + ] = 10.5<br />

Hence pOH = 3.5 = - log [OH - ]<br />

[OH - ] = antilog 10 (-3.5)<br />

= 3.1622776…..x 10 -4<br />

Accurate [OH - ] value<br />

= 3 x 10 -4 M
