    Acid-Base Equilibria
    I am unsure of how to calculate

    [OH-] and the pH for each of the following strong base solutions:
    The pOH is calculated as pOH = - log[OH-]
    And pOH + pH = 14

    -- 0.082 M KOH
    In solution, KOH is a strong base and electrolyte, so
    KOH (aq) → K+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
    0.82 0.082
    Thus, the concentration of ...

    Solution Summary

    The solution provides examples of calculating the [OH-] and pH of several basic solutions.
