Answer:


\huge{\boxed{2.51 * {10}^(-5) M}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The hydronium ion concentration can be found by finding the negative antilog of the pH of the substance by using the formula;


\bold{pH = -log([{H_3O}^(+)])}

From the formula

pH = 3.60


3.6 = \: - log([ {H_3O}^(+)]) \\ \\ [ {H_3O}^(+)] = {10}^( - 3.60) \\ \therefore \: [ {H_3O}^(+)] = 2.51 * {10}^( - 4)
