#### Problem Statements:

1. **Calculate \([H_3O^+]\) for a 4.15 × 10\(^{-3}\) M HBr solution.**

   \[[H_3O^+] = \underline{\hspace{60mm}} \text{M}\]

2. **Calculate \([H_3O^+]\) for a 1.60 × 10\(^{-2}\) M KOH solution.**

   \[[H_3O^+] = \underline{\hspace{60mm}} \text{M}\]

#### Explanation:

The problems require the calculation of the hydronium ion concentration, \([H_3O^+]\), for two different solutions:

- **HBr Solution:** HBr is a strong acid, which dissociates completely in water to form H\(^+\) ions. Hence, the concentration of H\(^+\) (or equvalently \([H_3O^+]\)) will be equal to the concentration of the HBr solution, which is \(4.15 \times 10^{-3}\) M.
  
- **KOH Solution:** KOH is a strong base, which dissociates completely in water to form OH\(^-\) ions. The concentration of OH\(^-\) ions will be \(1.60 \times 10^{-2}\) M. To find \([H_3O^+]\), use the relation \( [H_3O^+] \times [OH^-] = 1.0 \times 10^{-14}\) at 25°C to calculate \([H_3O^+]\).
