    0.01 M

    Explanation:

    1) Dissociation:

    Since HCl is a strong acid, it dissociates 100% in water to form hydronium (H₃O⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions, as per this chemical equation:

    HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

    2) Concentrations:

    Hence, each mole of HCl molecules yields 1 mol of hydronium (H₃O⁺) and 1 mol of chloride (Cl⁻) ions.

    Thus, [HCl] = [H₃O⁺] = [Cl⁻] = 0.01 M

    3) Conclusion: the concentraion of hydronium ions in a 0.01 M solution of HCl is 0.01 M
