00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.533
Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [H to the power plus ] equals 7.5e minus 3 M.

2
00:00:08.983 --> 00:00:17.447
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:18.247 --> 00:00:19.164
pH.

4
00:00:19.614 --> 00:00:28.879
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

5
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:49.230
So the answer is pH equals 2.125, pOH equals 11.88, [H to the power plus ] equals 0.0075 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 1.333 times 10 to the power negative 12 M (acidic).

6
00:00:49.680 --> 00:01:02.672
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
00:01:03.472 --> 00:01:14.339
[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
00:01:14.789 --> 00:01:16.322
The solution is acidic.
