Answer:

[tex][OH^-]=2.455x10^{-3}M[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since a strong base produce OH ions in solution, it possible to first compute the pOH as shown below:

[tex]pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-11.39\\\\pOH=2.61[/tex]

Thus, via the definition of the pOH we can compute the concentration of the strong base as follows:

[tex]pOH=-log([OH^-])[/tex]

Thus, solving for the concentration we obtain:

[tex][OH^-]=10^{-pOH}=10^{-2.61}[/tex]

[tex][OH^-]=2.455x10^{-3}M[/tex]

Best regards!
