pOH of solution = 10

Further explanation

pH is the degree of acidity of a solution that depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions. The greater the value the more acidic the solution and the smaller the pH.


\large{\boxed{\bold{pH=-log [H^+]}}}

pH=-log[H₃O⁺]


\tt pH=-log[1* 10^(-4)]\\\\pH=4\\\\pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-4\\\\pOH=10
