pH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is.
we have been given the hydrogen ion concentration. Using this we can calculate pH,
pH = - log[H⁺]
pH = - log (1 x 10⁻¹ M)
pH = 1
using pH can calculate pOH
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 1
pOH = 13
using pOH we can calculate the hydroxide ion concentration
pOH = - log [OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹³ M
hydroxide ion concentration is 10⁻¹³ M
