By definition pOH=-log_(10)[HO^-]..........and

Explanation:

And also, we KNOW that in aqueous solution,

pH+pOH=14

a. And thus, for pOH=8.26, [HO^-]=10^(-8.26)*mol*L^-1

=5xx10^-9*mol*L^-1

And thus for pH=5.74,............................................

[H_3O^+]=10^(-5.74)*mol*L^-1=1.82xx10^-6*mol*L^-1.

I will let you do b., and c.. Post the values back in thread if you want them checked.
