Answer:

pOH = 4.63

pH = 9.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Because NaOH is a strong base, it will completely dissociate, which means you can find pOH by taking the negative log of the concentration of hydroxide ions: pOH = -log(OH) = -log(2.34 x 10⁻⁵) = 4.630784143

To find pH use 14.00 = pH + pOH

pH = 14.00 - 4.630784143 = 9.369215857
