Question:

You have three solutions labeled A, B, and C. You know only that each contains a different cation—Na+, NH4+, or H3O+. Each has an anion that does not contribute to the solution pH (e.g., Cl). You also have two other solutions, Y and Z, each containing a different anion, Cl or OH, with a cation that does not influence solution pH (e.g., K+). If equal amounts of B and Y are mixed, the result is an acidic solution. Mixing A and Z gives a neutral solution, whereas B and Z give a basic solution. Identify the five unknown solutions.
