Answer:


\begin{gathered} pH\text{ = 7.07} \\ pOH\text{ = 6.93} \end{gathered}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the pH of the solution

Mathematically:


\begin{gathered} pH\text{ = -log\lbrack H}^+] \\ pH\text{ = -log\lparen8.52 }*\text{ 10}^(-8)) \\ pH\text{ = 7.07} \end{gathered}

Furthermore:


\begin{gathered} pH\text{ + pOH = 14} \\ pOH\text{ = 14-pH} \\ pOH\text{ = 14-7.07} \\ pOH\text{ = 6.93} \end{gathered}
