Answer: 1 x 10^-12 M

Explanation:

pOH is the negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration in a base.

Mathematically, pOH is expressed as

pOH = - log (OH-)

where OH - is hydroxide ion concentration

So, 12 = - log (OH-)

(OH-) = Antilog (-12)

(OH-) = 1 x 10^-12 M

Thus, the concentration of the base is 1 x 10^-12 M
