Answer:

The pOH is 4, 44 and the solution is basic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pOH is a measure of the concentration of OH (hydroxyl) ions in the solution.

The pOH is calculated as :

pOH = -log (OH-)= -log (3.67 x 10-5 )= 4, 44. In this case, the solution is basic.

The p0H scale ranges from values of 0 to 14 (less than 7.0 is basic and greater than 7.0 is acidic, a pH = 7.0 is neutral)
