pH = 9,32

Explanation:

you have two relations:
pH + pOH = 14
#[H^+] xx [OH^-] = 10^(-14)#
and two definitions:
#pH = -Log[H^+]# and
#pOH = -Log[OH^-]#
if you you know use logarithms, with these you can solve all the problems you asked about pH.
in this case
#pH = log (4.8 xx 10^-10) =9.32#
pOH = 14-pOH = 4,68
