If you would type a little and show your work we could find the answer quickly.
........HOBr ==. H^+ + BrO^-
I.......0.63.....0......0
C........-x.......x.....x
E......0.63-x.....x.....x
Ka = 2.5E-9 = (x)(x)/(0.63-x).
Solve for x, convert to pH, then
pH + OH = pKw = 14. You know pH and pKw, solve for pOH.
