Answer:

14.20

Explanation:

The pH can be calculated as:

KOH is a strong base and it will dissociate completely in the solution as:

[tex]KOH\rightarrow K^++OH^-[/tex]

According to the equation and also mentioned that KOH will dissociate completely. So,

Molarity of the hydroxide ions furnished = Molarity of the KOH = 1.6 M

So,

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(1.6) = -0.20

Also,  

pH + pOH = 14  

So, pH = 14 - ( - 0.20 ) = 14.20
