This question asks to address the concept of acid -based chemistry and how ph and p -o -h play into that.
00:07
The question basically asks, how does the concentration of hydroxide or hydronium ion change when the ph of the solution gets adjusted from a 3 .15 to a 3 .65.
00:20
So the first thing we need to recognize is that when we increase ph, that means we have a less acidic solution or we'd have more hydroxide ion.
00:30
Present in a solution with a higher ph.
00:34
So to adjust a solution from a lower ph to a higher, we need to add hydroxide ion.
00:40
So that's the first thing we need to recognize.
00:43
The next is how much or how do we quantify how much the hydroxide ion concentration changes.
00:51
And probably the best way to do this is to use the relationship between ph and p .o .h.
00:57
That together in an aqueous solution, they equal 14.
01:01
And let's just look at how the poh changes when we change that value first for a ph of 3 .15 and do it again for a ph of 3 .65 and find the two different pow values at those two different values of ph.
01:24
So plugging in the two different values of ph into the known equation, we find that the poh initially at the ph of 3 .15 is 10 .85.
01:35
And as we adjust the ph to a higher value 3 .65, that p .o .h value falls down to 10 .35.
01:43
Remember on the p .o .h scale, the lower the number, the more basic the solution is.
01:49
Just like on the ph scale, the lower the number, the more acidic solution is...
