it's decreased, as less of the ions dissociate in the solution

Answer:When the pH of the solution is changed from 1 to 2 the concentration of the
H_3O^+ in solution gets low.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH of the solution is defined as negative logarithm of
H_3O^+ ions concentration in a solution.


pH=-\log[H_3O^+]

1.
H_3O^+ ions concentration when pH is 1


1=-\log[H_3O^+]


[H_3O^+]=0.1 M

2.
H_3O^+ ions concentration when pH is 2


2=-\log[H_3O^+]


[H_3O^+]=0.01 M

When the pH of the solution is changed from 1 to 2 the concentration of the
H_3O^+ in solution gets low.
