  • Calculate pH: Hydroxide Ion Concentration & pH Calculation
    Here's how to calculate the pH of the solution:

    1. Understand the Relationship:

    * pOH and pH: The pOH and pH of a solution are related by the equation: pOH + pH = 14

    * Hydroxide Concentration and pOH: The pOH of a solution is calculated using the formula: pOH = -log[OH⁻]

    2. Calculate the pOH:

    * You're given [OH⁻] = 0.000001 moles/liter = 1 x 10⁻⁶ M

    * pOH = -log(1 x 10⁻⁶) = 6

    3. Calculate the pH:

    * pH + pOH = 14

    * pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 6 = 8

    Therefore, the pH of the solution is 8.
