The H3O+  concentration  of the solution with  a PH  of 3.60  is  2.5  x10^-4 M (answer  A)


   explanation

PH is calculated  using PH = - log  [ H3O+]  formula


Therefore  - log [H3O+]  = 3.60

To calculate  the concentration of h3O+  ,find the  antilog  of 3.60

Since  -log is at base of 10, the antilog  of 3.60  = 10^-3.60  = 2.5 x10^-4M

Answer:

[tex][H_3O^+]=2.5x10^{-4}M[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the pH is mathematically defined as:

[tex]pH=-log([H_3O^+]}[/tex]

By solving for the hydronium's concentration with the given pH, its value turns out:

[tex][H_3O^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-3.60}=2.5x10^{-4}M[/tex]

Best regards.
