Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [H to the power plus ] equals 5e minus 9 M.

2
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:16.065
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:16.865 --> 00:00:17.817
pH.

4
00:00:18.267 --> 00:00:27.439
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

5
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:46.362
So the answer is pH equals 8.301, pOH equals 5.699, [H to the power plus ] equals 5 times 10 to the power negative 9 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 2 times 10 to the power negative 6 M (basic).

6
00:00:46.812 --> 00:00:59.560
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
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:10.786
[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
00:01:11.236 --> 00:01:12.722
The solution is basic.
