### Solution pOH, pH, and Ion Concentration

**Problem Statement:**
- The pOH of an aqueous solution at 25°C was found to be **14.00**.

---

**Tasks and Calculations:**

1. **Determine the pH of the solution:**
   - The relationship between pH and pOH is given by the equation:
     \[
     \text{pH} + \text{pOH} = 14
     \]
     Given the pOH is 14.00:
     \[
     \text{pH} = 14 - 14.00 = 0
     \]

2. **Calculate the hydronium ion concentration:**
   - The hydronium ion concentration \([ \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ ]\) can be determined using the pH:
     \[
     [ \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ ] = 10^{-\text{pH}}
     \]
     Given the pH is 0:
     \[
     [ \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ ] = 10^0 = 1 \, \text{M}
     \]

3. **Calculate the hydroxide ion concentration:**
   - The hydroxide ion concentration \([ \text{OH}^- ]\) can be determined using the pOH:
     \[
     [ \text{OH}^- ] = 10^{-\text{pOH}}
     \]
     Given the pOH is 14.00:
     \[
     [ \text{OH}^- ] = 10^{-14} \, \text{M}
     \]

---

### Summary

- **pOH**: 14.00
- **pH**: 0
- **Hydronium ion concentration \([ \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ ]\)**: 1 M
- **Hydroxide ion concentration \([ \text{OH}^- ]\)**: \( 10^{-14} \) M
