Here is the problem: A solution has pH 9.25. Find [H to the power plus ], [OH to the power minus ] and pOH.

2
00:00:09.970 --> 00:00:18.492
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:19.292 --> 00:00:22.450
Hydrogen ion concentration from pH.

4
00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:23.794
pH.

5
00:00:24.244 --> 00:00:33.300
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:54.081
So the answer is pH equals 9.25, pOH equals 4.75, [H to the power plus ] equals 5.623 times 10 to the power negative 10 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 1.778 times 10 to the power negative 5 M (basic).

7
00:00:54.531 --> 00:01:07.430
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
00:01:08.230 --> 00:01:18.772
[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
00:01:19.222 --> 00:01:20.673
The solution is basic.
