Acid base calculations get trickier when dealing with bases since most MCAT style questions will ask about pH instead of pOH. This means you have to be comfortable calculating both OH- and H+ concentrations to find pOH and pH values.
This video breaks it down with a few examples.

For strong bases, why can’t we say 0.05 OH as Ca(OH)2 is a strong base (complete dissociation). Why we have to find that by using equation?
