Molar mass of Ba(OH)2 = 171.34 g/mol

Lets assume 1 L of solution.

Mass = 4.21 mg = 4.21*10^-3 g

Number of moles =mass/ molar mass

                                   = (4.21*10^-3)/ 171.34

                                  = 2.457*10^-5 mol

[Ba(OH)2] = number of moles / volume

                  = 2.457*10^-5 / 1

                   = 2.457*10^-5 M

Ba(OH)2   ----> Ba2+ + 2 OH-

So,

[OH-]= 2*[Ba(OH)2] = 2*2.457*10^-5= 4.91*10^-5 M

pOH = - log [OH=]

          = -log (4.91*10^-5)

         = 4.31

pH= 14- pOH

      = 14- 4.31

      =9.69

Answer: 9.69
