Answer:

The H+ concentration would decrease by 10 fold. From .01 to .001

Step-by-step explanation:

This is due to how a pH of 2 is expressed in scientific notation as 10^-2 power when referring to H+ concentration so a pH of 3 would be 10^-3. Hence it would be 10 times smaller in concentration as the power increases to the negative power the smaller the concentration becomes.
