Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [OH to the power minus ] equals 0.01 M.

2
00:00:07.997 --> 00:00:16.438
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:17.237 --> 00:00:19.873
pOH from the hydroxide concentration.

4
00:00:20.323 --> 00:00:21.205
pH.

5
00:00:21.655 --> 00:00:31.071
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:31.871 --> 00:00:45.397
So the answer is pH equals 12, pOH equals 2, [H to the power plus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 12 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 0.01 M (basic).

7
00:00:45.847 --> 00:00:58.606
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.

8
00:00:59.406 --> 00:01:10.366
[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.

9
00:01:10.816 --> 00:01:12.279
The solution is basic.
