pH question, urgent

Calculate the pH of a solution made by mixing 50.00 mL of 0.10 M NaOH and 25.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl.

@yoyohs Half of the NaOH is not neutralised, so pH should be alkaline.

pH should be alkaline (above 7).

OHHH okay i see so i technically calculated [NaOH] so that's pOH, so the pH would be 12.82? (work is the second link i sent, but 14-the answer there). or would it be 12.52 (work is the first link i sent, but 14-the answer there)?

First solution is closer to the truth (pOH = 1,48).
