Answer

pH = 12.95

Work Step by Step

1. Since $Sr(OH)_2$ is a strong base, and it has 2 $OH^-$ in each molecule: $[OH^-] = 2 * [Sr(OH)_2] = 2 * 0.045 = 0.090M$ 2. Calculate the pOH, and then the pH value: $pOH = -log[OH^-]$ $pOH = -log( 0.090)$ $pOH = 1.05$ $pH + pOH = 14$ $pH + 1.05 = 14$ $pH = 12.95$
