Answer:


10^(-4)M

Explanation:

To solve this, you will need to do multiple steps.

Firstly, you will have to convert to pOH from pH, which is done by simply subtracting 14-10 to get a pOH of 4.

Then, use the following formula to calculate the [OH-} concentration:

[OH-]=
10^(-pOH)

When converted to Scientific Notation, you get a resulting answer of


10^(-4)M.
