pH is -log to base 10 of H+ concentration, so:

a. $${\mathtt{pH}} = {\mathtt{\,-\,}}{log}_{10}\left({\mathtt{7.9}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{10}}}^{-{\mathtt{9}}}\right) \Rightarrow {\mathtt{pH}} = {\mathtt{8.102\: \!372\: \!908\: \!709\: \!558}}$$  

or pH≈8.1

b. $${\mathtt{conc}} = {{\mathtt{10}}}^{-{\mathtt{3.2}}} \Rightarrow {\mathtt{conc}} = {\mathtt{0.000\: \!630\: \!957\: \!344\: \!480\: \!2}}$$

conc of H+ ≈ 6.3*10-4
