Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [H to the power plus ] equals 2.5e minus 4 M.

2
00:00:08.623 --> 00:00:16.901
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:17.701 --> 00:00:18.618
pH.

4
00:00:19.068 --> 00:00:28.507
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

5
00:00:29.307 --> 00:00:48.196
So the answer is pH equals 3.602, pOH equals 10.4, [H to the power plus ] equals 2.5 times 10 to the power negative 4 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 4 times 10 to the power negative 11 M (acidic).

6
00:00:48.646 --> 00:01:01.649
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
00:01:02.449 --> 00:01:12.968
[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
00:01:13.418 --> 00:01:14.881
The solution is acidic.
