A saturated solution of Cd(OH)₂ is shown in the middle beaker. If hydrochloric acid solution is added, the solubility of Cd(OH)₂ will increase, causing additional solid to

dissolve. Which of the two choices, Beaker A or Beaker B, accurately represents the solution after equilibrium is reestablished? (The water molecules and CI^- ions are omitted for clarity.)
