Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
PH = - Log[ H+ ]
PH + POH =14
POH = 14 - 3.8
POH = 10.2
POH = - Log[ OH- ]
10.2 = - Log[ OH- ]
10-10.2 = [ OH- ]
[ OH- ] = 6.3 x 10-11
PH = - Log[ H+ ]
PH + POH =14
POH = 14 - 3.8
POH = 10.2
POH = - Log[ OH- ]
10.2 = - Log[ OH- ]
10-10.2 = [ OH- ]
[ OH- ] = 6.3 x 10-11
