Answer: The pH of the solution is 8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration


pH=-\log [H^+]


pOH=-log[OH^-]

pH+pOH=14

Putting in the values:


pH+5.2=14


pH=8.8

Thus pH of the solution is 8.8
