    1.2 * 10^-11 M

    Explanation:

    We are given;

    Concentration of Hydrogen ions [H⁺] as 0.00083 M

    We are required to calculate the concentration of [OH⁻]

    We know that;

    pH = - log [H⁺]

    POH = - log[OH⁻]

    Also, pH + pOH = 14

    With the concentration of H⁺ we can calculate the pH

    pH = - log 0.00083 M

    = 3.08

    But; pH + pOH = 14

    Therefore; pOH = 14 - pH

    = 14 - 3.08

    = 10.92

    But, pOH = - log[OH⁻]

    Therefore; [OH] = - Antilog (pOH)

    Hence; [OH⁻] = Antilog - 10.92

    = 1.2 * 10^-11 M

    Therefore, [OH⁻] is 1.2 * 10^-11 M
