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.
