Question

The pOH of a solution is 6.0. Which statement is correct?

Answer 1

If the pOH of the solution is 6.0, the pH is 14 - 6 = 8.0.
That one is correct. :) Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Answer : Option D) The pH of the solution is 8.0.

Explanation : pOH of a solution is a measure of hydroxide ion
`(OH^(-))` concentration in a particular solution. It gives the measure of alkalinity of a solution. Normally, aqueous solutions at 25°C have pOH which is less than 7 are usually alkaline, when pOH is found to be greater than 7 then they are acidic and when pOH will be equal to 7 then it is neutral.

pH + pOH = 14, this relationship is used to find pH of any unknown solution with given pOH value,

Here, we known pOH is 6.0, so we get,

pH = 14 - 6 = 8.0;

Hence, the pH will be 8.0.
