Answer

The pH of this solution is 5.93.

Work Step by Step

The pOH of a solution is the negative Log of the concentration of OH- in the solution. Simply take the Log of the given concentration of OH- and make the result positive. Subtract this value from 14 to find the pH. pH = $14 + Log(8.5 * 10^{-9})$ = 5.93
