pH is 9.32 based on the [H+]. we know that: 14=pH+pOH so pOH would be: pOH=4.68

Answer : The value of pOH of the solution is, 4.68

Explanation : Given,

Concentration of
H^+ ion =
4.8* 10^(-10)M

As we know that the pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

Mathematical representation is :


pH=-\log [H^+]

First we have to calculate the pH of the solution.


pH=-\log [H^+]


pH=-\log (4.8* 10^(-10))


pH=9.32

Now we have to calculate the pOH.


pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-9.32=4.68

Therefore, the value of pOH of the solution is, 4.68
