The [OH-] of a solution can be found by taking the antilog of the negative pOH value.


TRUE


FALSE

Verified Answer :

This is similar to calculating the pH of a solution so this is true

Answer:  true

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxyl ion concentration.

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9, bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14 and neutral solutions have pH equal to 7.

\(pH=-\log [H^+]\)

\(pOH=\log[OH^-]\)

\([OH]^-=10^{-pOH}\)

Thus the statement that \([OH]^-\) of a solution can be found by taking the antilog of the negative pOH value is True.
