### Understanding the Effect of Adding Chemicals on pH Levels

#### Overview
Each row of the table below describes an aqueous solution at 25 °C. The table consists of five columns:
1. **Solution Label (A, B, C, D)**
2. **Initial Components**: The chemical components present initially in the solution.
3. **Initial Type**: The initial property of the solution – whether it is acidic, basic, or neutral.
4. **Change**: A change applied to the solution by adding another chemical.
5. **Effect of Change on pH**: The result of adding the chemical on the pH of the solution.

These columns guide the study to understand how different added chemicals influence the pH of various initial solutions.

#### Table

| Solution | Initial Components | Initial Type (check all that apply) | Change                 | Effect of Change on pH (check one) |
|----------|---------------------|-------------------------------------|------------------------|------------------------------------|
| **A**    | H₂O                 | ☐ Acidic<br>☐ Basic<br>☑ Neutral  | add HClO₄              | ☐ pH higher<br>☑ pH lower<br>☐ pH the same  |
| **B**    | H₂O, HBr            | ☐ Acidic<br>☐ Basic<br>☑ Neutral  | add KOH                | ☐ pH higher<br>☑ pH lower<br>☐ pH the same  |
| **C**    | H₂O, HBr            | ☐ Acidic<br>☑ Basic<br>☐ Neutral  | add KBr                | ☐ pH higher<br>☒ pH lower<br>☐ pH the same  |
| **D**    | H₂O                 | ☐ Acidic<br>☐ Basic<br>☑ Neutral  | add NaClO₄             | ☐ pH higher<br>☐ pH lower<br>☑ pH the same  |

#### Explanation of Changes
- **Solution A (H₂O with HClO₄)**: Initially neutral water becomes acidic when perchloric acid (HClO₄) is added, thus lowering its pH.
- **Solution B (H₂O, HBr with KOH)**: Initially neutral water with hydrobrom
