Answer:
To calculate the [OH-] in the solution we must first find the pOH
That's
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - pH
First to find the pH we use the formula
From the question
[H3O+]= 2.6 × 10^-8 M
pH = - log 2.6 × 10^-8
pH = 7.6
pH = 8
So we pOH is
pOH = 14 - 8 = 6
To find the [OH-] we use the formula
6 = - log [OH-]
Find antilog of both sides
The solution is slightly basic since it's pH is in the basic region and slightly above the neutral point 7
Hope this helps you
