**pH and pOH Calculations in Aqueous Solutions**

**Question:**

The H⁺ concentration in an aqueous solution at 25°C is 1.1 x 10⁻⁴ M. What is [OH⁻]?

**Instructions:**

To find the concentration of hydroxide ions, [OH⁻], use the formula:

\[ \text{[H⁺]} \times \text{[OH⁻]} = 1.0 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{at 25°C} \]

To calculate [OH⁻]:

\[ \text{[OH⁻]} = \frac{1.0 \times 10^{-14}}{\text{[H⁺]}} \]

Using the given [H⁺] concentration:

\[ \text{[OH⁻]} = \frac{1.0 \times 10^{-14}}{1.1 \times 10^{-4}} \]

Perform the calculation to find [OH⁻].

**Interactive Elements:**

- A calculator interface is provided for direct calculation. 
- Use numerical buttons to input values.
- Calculation and submission options are highlighted.

**Additional Resources:**

For further understanding of the relationship between [H⁺] and [OH⁻] in water at 25°C, review the concept of the water ion product constant (\(K_w\)), and how it affects the pH and pOH of the solution.
