Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [H to the power plus ] equals 1e minus 7 M.

2
00:00:07.788 --> 00:00:16.263
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:17.063 --> 00:00:17.934
pH.

4
00:00:18.384 --> 00:00:27.707
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

5
00:00:28.507 --> 00:00:43.345
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).

6
00:00:43.795 --> 00:00:56.218
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
00:00:57.018 --> 00:01:07.897
[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
00:01:08.347 --> 00:01:09.810
The solution is neutral.
