In this question, we need to calculate the molarity or the molar concentration of [H+] in a solution that has pOH = 5.33

First, we need to find the pH of this solution, and pH and pOH have a relationship that both values must equal 14:

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - 5.33

pH = 8.67

Now that we have the value of pH, we can find the molar concentration of [H+], using the following formula:

[H+] = 10^-pH

[H+] = 10^-8.67

[H+] = 2.14*10^-9 of molarity or molar concentration
