Answer: The hydronium
(H_(3)O^(+)) concentration of a solution with a pH of 3.60 is 0.56 M.

Step-by-step explanation:

pH of a substance is the negative logarithm of concentration of hydrogen ions present in it.

It's formula is; pH = - log
[H^(+)]

When pH of a solution is 3.60 then its hydronium or hydrogen ion concentration is calculated as follows.


pH = - log [H^(+)]\\3.6 = - log [H^(+)]\\concentration of H^(+) = antilog (-3.6)\\= 0.56

Thus, we can conclude that the hydronium
(H_(3)O^(+)) concentration of a solution with a pH of 3.60 is 0.56 M.
