    1. pOH = 5.519; 2. pOH = 6.585; 3. pOH = 12.725; 4. pOH = 3.879

    Explanation:

    First of all, rembember this: water's equilibrium

    2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

    The expression for Kw = [H₃O⁺]. [OH⁻] → 1x10⁻¹⁴

    [H₃O⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [OH⁻]

    [OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [H₃O⁺]

    -log [H₃O⁺] = pH

    -log [OH⁻] = pOH

    pH + pOH = 14 because pKw = 14

    1. - log 3.3*10⁻¹⁰ = 9.481

    14 - 9.481 = 5.519

    2. - log 2.6*10⁻⁷ = 6.585

    14 - 6.585 = 7.415

    3. - log 5.3*10⁻² = 1.275

    14 - 1.275 = 12.725

    4. - log 1.32*10⁻⁴ = 3.879
