You have three different solutions labeled A, B, and C. Each solution contains a different cation: Na+, NH4+, or H3O+. The anion in each solution is a spectator ion that has no effect on the pH. You also have two other solutions, labeled Y and Z. Each solution here contains a different anion: Cl− or OH−. The cation in each solution is a spectator ion that has no effect on the pH. The ions of interest are present at equivalent concentrations. If equal amounts of B and Y are mixed, the result is an acidic solution. If equal amounts of A and Z are mixed, the result is a pH-neutral solution. If equal amounts of B and Z are mixed, the result is a basic solution. Use the provided information to identify the cation in solutions A, B, and C and the anion in solutions Y and Z. a.) The identity of the cation in solution A is... b.) The identity of the cation in solution B is...
