Answer:
10^(-13)M

Explanation:-

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.


pH=-\log [H^+]

We are given:

Household bleach has a pH of 13


13=-log{H^+}


[H^+]=antilog(-13)


[H^+]=10^(-13)

Thus
H_3O^+ concentration in household bleach is
10^(-13)M.
