Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [H to the power plus ] equals 1e minus 5 M.

2
00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:16.124
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:16.924 --> 00:00:17.795
pH.

4
00:00:18.245 --> 00:00:27.428
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

5
00:00:28.228 --> 00:00:43.855
So the answer is pH equals 5, pOH equals 9, [H to the power plus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 5 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 9 M (acidic).

6
00:00:44.305 --> 00:00:57.041
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
00:00:57.841 --> 00:01:08.418
[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
00:01:08.868 --> 00:01:10.354
The solution is acidic.
