We're given the [OH⁻] as 8.34 × 10⁻¹² M. Using the formula pOH = -log[OH⁻], the pOH of this solution would be -log(8.34 × 10⁻¹²) ≈ 11.08.
The pOH is, for lack of a better term, the "opposite" of pH: A pOH of 7 is neutral; a pOH less than 7 is <em>basic</em>; and a pOH greater than 7 is <em>acidic</em>.
This follows from the relation, pH + pOH = 14. In this case, with a pOH of 11.08, our pH would be 14 - 11.08 = 2.92, which is acidic (pH < 7).
Thus, the correct answer choice is B.
