Answer:

pOH = 5.32

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the pOH...

The pOH of a solution is defined as:

-log [OH⁻] The -log of hydroxide ion concentration in molarity units

It is used to find pH of a solution because: pH = 14-pOH

Thus, the pOH of the solution of the problem is:

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log [4.82x10⁻⁶M]

pOH = 5.32
