Question

A substance with a high pOH would likely have which of the following?

Answer 1

Answer: a low $OH^-$  and low pH.

Explanation:

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

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pOH=-log[OH^-]$

$pOH=log\frac {1}{OH^-}$

Thus as pOH and $OH^-$ are inversely related, a solution having higher pOH will have less amount of $OH^-$ concentration. And a solution having more pOH will have less pH.

Thus a substance with a high pOH would likely have low $OH^-$ concentration and low pH.
