00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.825
Here is the problem: Find the pH of a solution with [OH to the power minus ] equals 3e minus 5 M.

2
00:00:08.275 --> 00:00:17.099
Convert between hydrogen ion concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH in water at 25 °C.

3
00:00:17.899 --> 00:00:20.616
pOH from the hydroxide concentration.

4
00:00:21.066 --> 00:00:21.948
pH.

5
00:00:22.398 --> 00:00:31.721
pOH and [OH to the power minus ] (25 °C, Kw equals 1.0 times 10 to the power minus 14).

6
00:00:32.521 --> 00:00:52.212
So the answer is pH equals 9.477, pOH equals 4.523, [H to the power plus ] equals 3.333 times 10 to the power negative 10 M, [OH to the power minus ] equals 3 times 10 to the power negative 5 M (basic).

7
00:00:52.661 --> 00:01:04.805
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
00:01:05.605 --> 00:01:16.309
[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
00:01:16.759 --> 00:01:18.199
The solution is basic.
