Here is the problem: A solution has pH 11.5. Find [H to the power plus ], [OH to the power minus ] and pOH.

2
00:00:09.691 --> 00:00:18.062
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:18.862 --> 00:00:22.101
Hydrogen ion concentration from pH.

4
00:00:22.551 --> 00:00:23.468
pH.

5
00:00:23.918 --> 00:00:33.229
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:34.029 --> 00:00:53.928
So the answer is pH equals 11.5, pOH equals 2.5, [H to the power plus ] equals 3.162 times 10 to the power negative 12 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 0.00316228 M (basic).

7
00:00:54.378 --> 00:01:07.242
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
00:01:08.042 --> 00:01:18.851
[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
00:01:19.301 --> 00:01:20.741
The solution is basic.
