### Calculating pH and Hydrogen Ion Concentration

#### Problem Set 1: Calculate the pH of the Substance
The hydrogen ion concentration, \([H^+]\), of a sample of each substance is given. Calculate the pH of the substance. Round your answers to one decimal place.

1. **Oranges**: \([H^+]\) = \(2.5 \times 10^{-4}\) M
   - **Answer**: [Input Box]

2. **Apples**: \([H^+]\) = \(1.3 \times 10^{-4}\) M
   - **Answer**: [Input Box]

3. **Hominy (lye)**: \([H^+]\) = \(3.9 \times 10^{-13}\) M
   - **Answer**: [Input Box]

#### Problem Set 2: Calculate the Hydrogen Ion Concentration
The pH reading of a sample of each substance is given. Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration of the substance. Give your answers in scientific notation, correct to one decimal place.

1. **Vinegar**: pH = 3
   - \([H^+]\) = [Input Box] × 10 [Input Box] M

2. **Milk**: pH = 6.5
   - \([H^+]\) = [Input Box] × 10 [Input Box] M
