Answer

### Determining the Hydrogen Ion Concentration from pH

**Problem Statement:**
The pH of a solution is \(1.3 \times 10^0\). What is the \([H^+]\)?

Report your answer to 2 significant figures.

**Note:** Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.

**Answer Submission Format:**
Provide your answer in the space below. Note that the answer should be written in scientific notation. 

**Format:**

| Answer  | \( \times 10 \) | Units  |
|:-------:|:---------------:|:------:|
| [   ]   | [  ]            | units  |

---

To solve this, remember the relationship between pH and hydrogen ion concentration:

\[ pH = -\log [H^+] \]

Given:
\[ \text{pH} = 1.3 \]

We need to find \([H^+]\):

\[ [H^+] = 10^{-\text{pH}} \]

So,

\[ [H^+] = 10^{-1.3} \]

Calculate this to get the answer. Make sure to report \([H^+]\) in scientific notation and to 2 significant figures.
