Answer:

1.26 x 10^-10 M

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between [H+] and [OH-] is given by the equation: [H+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10^-14 M^2

Rearranging this equation gives: [OH-] = 1.0 x 10^-14 M^2 / [H+]

Substituting the given value of [H+] into this equation gives:

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10^-14 M^2 / (7.9 x 10^-5 M)

[OH-] = 1.26 x 10^-10 M
