Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the pOH of a solution, we need to use the equation pOH = -log[OH-]. From the problem, we are given the concentration of hydroxide ions ([OH-] = [OH^-]) as 5.9 x 10-6 M. Taking the negative logarithm of this concentration, we find that pOH = 4.23. Therefore, the correct answer is (C).
