What is the H+ concentration (in molarity) of a solution with a pOH of 6.7?

[H^(+)] = 5.01xx10^(-8) M

Explanation:

You want to use the following relationship:

pOH + pH = 14

Since we are given the pOH, we can determine the pH by subtracting the pOH from 14 like so:

14 - pOH = 7.3.

7.3 represents the pH of the solution and we can obtain the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution by taking the antilog of the pH. The antilog is 10^(-) raised to some value, which is 10^(-7.3) in our case.

10^(-7.3) = 5.01xx10^(-8) M

Tips:
[H^(+)] = antilog(-pH)
pH = -log[H^(+)]

I hope this explanation is understandable!
