Considering the definition of pOH and strong base, the pOH of the aqueous solution is 1.14
The pOH (or potential OH) is a measure of the basicity or alkalinity of a solution and indicates the concentration of ion hydroxide (OH-).
pOH is expressed as the logarithm of the concentration of OH⁻ ions, with the sign changed:
pOH= - log [OH⁻]
On the other hand, a strong base is that base that in an aqueous solution completely dissociates between the cation and OH-.
LiOH is a strong base, so the concentration of the hydroxide will be equal to the concentration of OH-. This is:
[LiOH]= [OH-]= 0.073 M
Replacing in the definition of pOH:
pOH= -log (0.073 M)
<u><em>pOH= 1.14 </em></u>
In summary, the pOH of the aqueous solution is 1.14

The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
8 valence electrons are found in noble gases. Since noble gases have 8 valence electrons that means they have a full shell - which makes them unreactive
