    The answer to your question is [H₃O⁺] = 0.025 [OH⁻] = 3.98 x 10⁻¹³

    Explanation:

    Data

    [H⁺] = ?

    [OH⁻] = ?

    pH = 1.6

    Process

    Use the pH formula to calculate the [H₃O⁺], then calculate the pOH and with this value, calculate the [OH⁻].

    pH formula

    pH = - log[H₃O⁺]

    -Substitution

    1.6 = - log[H₃O⁺]

    -Simplification

    [H₃O⁺] = antilog (-1,6)

    -Result

    [H₃O⁺] = 0.025

    -Calculate the pOH

    pOH = 14 - pH

    -Substitution

    pOH = 14 - 1.6

    -Result

    pOH = 12.4

    -Calculate the [OH⁻]

    12.4 = - log[OH⁻]

    -Simplification

    [OH⁻] = antilog (-12.4)

    -Result

    [OH⁻] = 3.98 x 10⁻¹³
