Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [OH to the power minus ] equals 1e minus 6 M.

2
00:00:07.706 --> 00:00:16.112
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:16.912 --> 00:00:19.629
pOH from the hydroxide concentration.

4
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:20.985
pH.

5
00:00:21.435 --> 00:00:30.444
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:31.244 --> 00:00:46.581
So the answer is pH equals 8, pOH equals 6, [H to the power plus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 8 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 1 times 10 to the power negative 6 M (basic).

7
00:00:47.031 --> 00:00:59.535
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
00:01:00.335 --> 00:01:10.842
[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
00:01:11.292 --> 00:01:12.755
The solution is basic.
