**Question 10 of 12**

The pH of an acidic solution is 6.85. What is pOH?

---

To answer this question, you can use the relationship between pH and pOH:

\[ \text{pH} + \text{pOH} = 14 \]

Given that the pH is 6.85, you can find the pOH by calculating:

\[ \text{pOH} = 14 - 6.85 = 7.15 \]

**Calculator Interface:**

- A numeric keypad is visible on the right side with numbers 1 to 9, 0, buttons for decimal (.) and sign change (+/-).
- There are additional buttons for backspace (←), clear (C), and scientific notation (\( \times 10^{\text{□}} \)).
- A submit button is located at the top right.

This interface allows users to input and calculate the pOH interactively.
