NaOH is strog base .For bases [OH^-] ion conc between 10^-1 to 10^-7 M
1.5*10^-8 M NaOH is very diluted solution.
Total conc of OH^- = conc of OH^- from NaOH + conc of OH^- from H2O
= 1.5*10^-8 + 10^-7
= 0.15*10^-7 + 10^-7
= (0.15+ 1) *10^-7
= 1.15*10^-7 M
POH = -log[OH^-]
= -log1.15*10^-7
= 6.9393
PH = 14-POH
= 14-6.9393 = 7.0607
