What is the hydronium ion concentration (in mol/L) of an aqueous solution with a pH of 3.4? State your answer in scientific notation using three significant figures. Example: The value 1.23 × 10-6 has three sig. figs. You need to enter this value the following way: 1.23e-6 That means the part " × 10 " of the number is replaced by just "e" which stands for exponent.
