Here is the problem: A solution has pH 3.2. Find [H to the power plus ], [OH to the power minus ] and pOH.

2
00:00:09.366 --> 00:00:17.830
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:21.765
Hydrogen ion concentration from pH.

4
00:00:22.215 --> 00:00:23.109
pH.

5
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:32.859
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:33.659 --> 00:00:52.966
So the answer is pH equals 3.2, pOH equals 10.8, [H to the power plus ] equals 6.31 times 10 to the power negative 4 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 1.585 times 10 to the power negative 11 M (acidic).

7
00:00:53.416 --> 00:01:05.862
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
00:01:06.662 --> 00:01:17.273
[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
00:01:17.723 --> 00:01:19.186
The solution is acidic.
