Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [H to the power plus ] equals 1e minus 3 M.

2
00:00:07.532 --> 00:00:15.868
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:16.668 --> 00:00:17.574
pH.

4
00:00:18.024 --> 00:00:27.382
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

5
00:00:28.182 --> 00:00:43.333
So the answer is pH equals 3, pOH equals 11, [H to the power plus ] equals 0.001 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 11 M (acidic).

6
00:00:43.783 --> 00:00:56.635
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.

7
00:00:57.435 --> 00:01:08.465
[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.

8
00:01:08.914 --> 00:01:10.389
The solution is acidic.
