Answer: The hydroxide ion concentration is
1.26* 10^(-4)M

Step-by-step explanation:

pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration in the solution.

To calculate the pOH of the reaction, we use the equation:


pOH=-\log[OH^-]

where,


pOH=3.90

Putting values in above equation, we get:


3.90=-\log[OH^-]


[OH^-]=1.26* 10^(-4)M

Hence, the hydroxide ion concentration is
1.26* 10^(-4)M
