Answer

$[OH^-] = 0.0224M$ $[H_3O^+] = 4.464\times 10^{- 13}M$ pH = 12.35 pOH = 1.65

Work Step by Step

1. Since $Ba(OH)_2$ is a strong base, $[OH^-] = 2 * [Ba(OH)_2]$ $[OH^-] = 2 * 0.0112$ $[OH^-] = 0.0224M$ 2. Calculate pOH and pH: $pOH = -log[OH^-]$ $pOH = -log( 0.0224)$ $pOH = 1.65$ $pH + pOH = 14$ $pH + 1.65 = 14$ $pH = 12.35$ 3. Now, find $[H_3O^+]$ $[OH^-] * [H_3O^+] = Kw = 10^{-14}$ $ 2.24 \times 10^{- 2} * [H_3O^+] = 10^{-14}$ $[H_3O^+] = \frac{10^{-14}}{ 2.24 \times 10^{- 2}}$ $[H_3O^+] = 4.464 \times 10^{- 13}M$
