### Part A

**Objective:**  
Determine whether each of the following solutions is acidic, basic, or neutral by analyzing their respective concentrations.

**Instructions:**
Drag the appropriate solutions into their respective bins based on their properties.

**Given Solutions:**  
- \( [\text{H}_3\text{O}^+] = 7.3 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M} \)
- \( [\text{OH}^-] = 3.8 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{M} \)
- \( [\text{OH}^-] = 3.1 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{M} \)
- \( [\text{H}_3\text{O}^+] = 8.2 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{M} \)

**Bins:**
- **Acidic**
- **Basic**
- **Neutral**

### Criteria:
- **Acidic Solution:**  
  A solution where the concentration of hydronium ions \([\text{H}_3\text{O}^+]\) is greater than \(1 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{M}\).
  
- **Basic Solution:**  
  A solution where the concentration of hydroxide ions \([\text{OH}^-]\) is greater than \(1 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{M}\).

- **Neutral Solution:**  
  A solution where the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are both \(1 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{M}\).

**Procedure:** Identify the given solution's concentrations and categorize them into the bins of acidic, basic, or neutral based on the criteria above.

### Explanation of relevant concepts:
- **Hydronium Ion (\(\text{H}_3\text{O}^+\)):**  
  Indicates the presence of an acid in a solution. Higher concentrations suggest higher acidity.
  
- **Hydroxide Ion (\(\text{OH}^-)):**  
  Indicates the presence of a base in a solution. Higher concentrations suggest higher basicity.
