Answer:

How do you find the concentration of OH in a solution?

The hydroxide ion concentration can be found from the pOH by the reverse mathematical operation employed to find the pOH. [OH-] = 10-pOH or [OH-] = antilog ( - pOH) Page 2 Example: What is the hydroxide ion concentration in a solution that has a pOH of 5.70? On a calculator calculate 10-5.70, or "inverse" log (- 5.70).Explanation:
