    They are asking you for OH - ions concentration, which is why you have to find the pOH of the solution. You can easily do this with this formula:

    pH + pOH = 14

    Solve for pOH and you get:

    pOH = 14 - pH

    Replace the pH with it's value:

    pOH = 14 - 11.8

    pOH = 2.2

    Now that you have the pOH you can find the concentration of OH - ions with this formula:

    pOH = - log[OH-]

    Solve the formula for [OH-] and you get:

    [OH-] = 10^ (-pOH)

    Now replace pOH with it's value:

    [OH-] = 10^ (-2.2)

    [OH-] = 0.006309 M

    The concentration of OH - atoms is 0.006309M or in the scientific notation 6.309*10^ (-3) M
