Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [OH to the power minus ] equals 1e minus 3 M.

2
00:00:07.904 --> 00:00:16.170
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:16.970 --> 00:00:19.617
pOH from the hydroxide concentration.

4
00:00:20.067 --> 00:00:21.007
pH.

5
00:00:21.457 --> 00:00:30.873
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:31.673 --> 00:00:46.127
So the answer is pH equals 11, pOH equals 3, [H to the power plus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 11 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 0.001 M (basic).

7
00:00:46.577 --> 00:00:59.406
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
00:01:00.206 --> 00:01:10.632
[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
00:01:11.082 --> 00:01:12.510
The solution is basic.
