Expert Solution
Step 1

pH refers to the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. pH measures the acidity of a solution. On the other hand, pOH measures the basicity of a solution. 

Therefore it can be said that, 

pH+pOH= 14

Therefore, 

pOH=-log[OH-]

Hence the pH of a solution can be measured if we can calculate the pOH for the solution. The calculation for the same is given in the steps below.
