pH = 11.87

Explanation:

We know if we have a given [OH^(-)], then we can find "pOH"which is just the "-log of the" [OH^(-)].

Find "pOH"

  • -log[OH^(-)]->-log[7.5 * 10^-3 M]->2.13

We also know from the relationship that

color(white)(aaaaaa)color(green)("pH+pOH = 14 at "25^@"Celsius"

so from the "pOH" we can find the "pH".

color(white)(aaa)

Find "pH" from "pOH"

  • "pH+pOH = 14"

  • "pH =14-2.13"

  • "pH = 11.87"

Answer: pH = 11.87
