Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [OH to the power minus ] equals 2e minus 4 M.

2
00:00:07.892 --> 00:00:16.344
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:17.144 --> 00:00:19.803
pOH from the hydroxide concentration.

4
00:00:20.253 --> 00:00:21.147
pH.

5
00:00:21.597 --> 00:00:31.094
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:31.894 --> 00:00:49.622
So the answer is pH equals 10.3, pOH equals 3.699, [H to the power plus ] equals 5 times 10 to the power negative 11 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 2 times 10 to the power negative 4 M (basic).

7
00:00:50.072 --> 00:01:02.715
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
00:01:03.515 --> 00:01:14.533
[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
00:01:14.983 --> 00:01:16.469
The solution is basic.
