Answer:

11.9 pH

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find pOH

To find that, we use the formula -log[OH]

-log[7.7x10^-3] = 2.11351

To find the pH, we'll use this formula: 14 = pH + pOH

14 = pH + 2.11351

Subtract boths sides by 2.11351

14 = pH + 2.11351

-2.11351 -2.11351

pH = 11.88649
