Solution

Step 1: Calculation of pOH of0.1MNaOHsolution

NaOH is an effective electrolyte. In an aqueous solution, it totally dissociates.
NaOH→Na++OH-
Hence, OH-=[NaOH]=0.1M
pOH=-logOH-⇒pOH=-log0.1⇒pOH=1

Step 2: Calculation of pH solution0.1MNaOHsolution

Now,
pH=14-pOH⇒pH=14-1⇒pH=13
Therefore, the pH of0.1MNaOHsolution is 13.
