Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [OH to the power minus ] equals 0.05 M.

2
00:00:07.892 --> 00:00:16.541
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:17.341 --> 00:00:20.046
pOH from the hydroxide concentration.

4
00:00:20.496 --> 00:00:21.413
pH.

5
00:00:21.863 --> 00:00:31.116
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:31.916 --> 00:00:48.669
So the answer is pH equals 12.7, pOH equals 1.301, [H to the power plus ] equals 2 times 10 to the power negative 13 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 0.05 M (basic).

7
00:00:49.119 --> 00:01:01.507
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
00:01:02.307 --> 00:01:12.686
[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
00:01:13.136 --> 00:01:14.576
The solution is basic.
