Here is the problem: A solution has pH 7. Find [H to the power plus ], [OH to the power minus ] and pOH.

2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:17.853
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:18.653 --> 00:00:21.857
Hydrogen ion concentration from pH.

4
00:00:22.307 --> 00:00:23.143
pH.

5
00:00:23.593 --> 00:00:32.916
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:33.716 --> 00:00:48.391
So the answer is pH equals 7, pOH equals 7, [H to the power plus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 7 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 7 M (neutral).

7
00:00:48.841 --> 00:01:01.635
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
00:01:02.435 --> 00:01:13.546
[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
00:01:13.996 --> 00:01:15.471
The solution is neutral.
