Here is the problem: A solution has pH 5.6. Find [H to the power plus ], [OH to the power minus ] and pOH.

2
00:00:09.947 --> 00:00:18.445
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:19.245 --> 00:00:22.519
Hydrogen ion concentration from pH.

4
00:00:22.969 --> 00:00:23.909
pH.

5
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:33.612
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:34.412 --> 00:00:54.730
So the answer is pH equals 5.6, pOH equals 8.4, [H to the power plus ] equals 2.512 times 10 to the power negative 6 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 3.981 times 10 to the power negative 9 M (acidic).

7
00:00:55.179 --> 00:01:07.985
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
00:01:08.785 --> 00:01:19.199
[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
00:01:19.649 --> 00:01:21.170
The solution is acidic.
