A chemist makes a solution of NaOH for use in an experiment. She dissolves 0.00500 mol NaOH in 1.00 L H2O. The NaOH completely dissociates to form a solution with [OH− ] = 0.00500 M.

What is the pOH of this solution?

0.00500

5.00

2.30

pOH = −log[OH−] = −log(0.00500) = 2.30

(So the correct choice is 2.30.)
