A solution is prepared by mixing 74.0 mL of 5.00 M HCl and 36.0 mL of 8.00 M HNO3. Water is then added until the final volume is 1.00 L. Okay, I didn't quite get my first question and something strange is up with my scientific calculator, so I changed the numbers a bit just to confirm that I'm doing my calculations correctly...Please include the step by step calculations, thanks!

We can assume that both acids disassociate totally in the final solution, so the H+ from the acids is that in the original additions.
From HCL: moles H+ = Vol x Molarity = 0.074 x 5 = .370 moles
From HNO3: moles H+ = 0.036 x 8 = 0.288 moles
Total [H+] = 0.658 mole/liter
In an aqueous solution [H+]x[OH-]= 1x10-14
Thus, [OH-]= (1/.658)x10-14
about 1.6x10-14 mol/L
For pH: pH=Log 1/[H+] (if I remember right)
pH = Log (1.6) or about 0.2
