To solve this question, we need to use the following formula:

pH = - log[H3O+] or pOH = -log [OH-]

and pH = 10 - pOH or pOH = 10 - pH

Step 1: Let's use first

pOH = 10 - pH

pOH = 10 - 6.67

pOH = 3.33

Step 2: Let's use pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = -log [OH-] is equal to 10^-pOH = [OH-]

so we have pOH = 3.33

10^-3.33 = [OH-]

[OH-] = 4.68 x 10^-4 mol/L

Answer: [OH-] = 4.68 x 10^-4 mol/L
