Here is the problem: A solution has pH 1.8. Find [H to the power plus ], [OH to the power minus ] and pOH.

2
00:00:09.633 --> 00:00:17.992
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:18.792 --> 00:00:21.915
Hydrogen ion concentration from pH.

4
00:00:22.365 --> 00:00:23.329
pH.

5
00:00:23.779 --> 00:00:33.148
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:33.948 --> 00:00:52.536
So the answer is pH equals 1.8, pOH equals 12.2, [H to the power plus ] equals 0.0158489 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 6.31 times 10 to the power negative 13 M (acidic).

7
00:00:52.986 --> 00:01:05.386
pH is a logarithmic scale: each unit is a tenfold change in hydrogen ion concentration. Below 7 the solution is acidic, above 7 it is basic, at 25 °C.

8
00:01:06.185 --> 00:01:16.959
[H to the power plus ][OH to the power minus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 14 approximately 1.0 times 10 to the power negative 14.

9
00:01:17.409 --> 00:01:18.825
The solution is acidic.
