The hydroxide ion concentration \([OH^-]\) of a detergent solution is given as \(7.8 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{M}\). The task is to find the pH, using significant figures.

Instructions:
- Respond with the correct number of significant figures in scientific notation.
- Use E notation and ensure there is only one digit before the decimal (e.g., \(2.5\text{E}5\) for \(2.5 \times 10^5\)).

An incorrect attempt is shown where the user submitted an answer of 9.9. A red warning indicates that the answer must be provided in scientific notation.
