If the pH of a solution is 11.2, then the concentration of [OH-] is 1.585×10³M.

The pH of a solution is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+), which in turn is a measure of acidity.

Given : pH of a solution=11.2

we know that pH + pOH = 14

pOH = -log[OH-]

pOH = 14 - pH

= 14 - 11.2

pOH = 2.80

-log[OH-] = 2.80

log[OH-] = -2.80

[OH-] = 10∧-2.80

[OH-] = 1.585 ×10∧-3 M.
