Answer:

4.22

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from the question, that the pOH of the solution is 9.78. Now the pOH is defined as -log [OH^-].

If the pOH of a solution is given, one may obtain the pH of such solution from the formula;

pH + pOH =14

Hence we can write;

pH = 14-pOH

pH = 14 - 9.78 = 4.22

Hence the pH of the solution is 4.22.
