Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [H to the power plus ] equals 3.2e minus 2 M.

2
00:00:08.658 --> 00:00:16.982
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:17.782 --> 00:00:18.676
pH.

4
00:00:19.126 --> 00:00:28.124
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

5
00:00:28.924 --> 00:00:48.022
So the answer is pH equals 1.495, pOH equals 12.51, [H to the power plus ] equals 0.032 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 3.125 times 10 to the power negative 13 M (acidic).

6
00:00:48.472 --> 00:01:01.266
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
00:01:02.066 --> 00:01:12.956
[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
00:01:13.406 --> 00:01:14.880
The solution is acidic.
