00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.175
Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [H to the power plus ] equals 4e minus 6 M.

2
00:00:07.625 --> 00:00:16.170
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:16.970 --> 00:00:17.806
pH.

4
00:00:18.256 --> 00:00:27.370
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

5
00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:47.338
So the answer is pH equals 5.398, pOH equals 8.602, [H to the power plus ] equals 4 times 10 to the power negative 6 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 2.5 times 10 to the power negative 9 M (acidic).

6
00:00:47.788 --> 00:01:00.629
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
00:01:01.429 --> 00:01:12.691
[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
00:01:13.141 --> 00:01:14.639
The solution is acidic.
