    The answer is pOH = 8.022

    By definition, pOH = - log₁₀[OH⁻]. Since [OH⁻] = 9.50 * 10⁻⁹ M, we have

    pOH = - log₁₀ (9.50 * 10⁻⁹)

    = 8.02227

    The quantity [OH⁻] = 9.50 * 10⁻⁹ M has three significant figures. Therefore, we need report our final pOH answer to three decimal places. It's a special rule regarding significant figures and logarithms/exponents: For a pH/pOH, only the figures after the decimal places are considered significant. Therefore, the number of significant figures in the concentration will be equal to the number of decimal places in the pOH/pH.

    The answer is pOH = 8.022
