Step-by-step explanation:

To find the concentration of hydroxide ions ([OH-]), we can use the equation:

pOH = -log[OH-]

Rearranging the equation to solve for [OH-]:

[OH-] = 10^(-pOH)

Substituting the given pOH value:

[OH-] = 10^(-5.51)

Calculating the value:

[OH-] ≈ 3.35 x 10^(-6)

Answer : [OH-] ≈ 3.35 x 10^(-6)
