#a.# #2xxNH_4^+#, #0.50*mol*L^-1#; #SO_4^(2-),# #0.25*mol*L^-1#

#b.# #H_3O^+#, #0.056*mol*L^-1#; #NO_3^(-),# #0.056*mol*L^-1#

#c.# #Na^+#, #0.246*mol*L^-1#; #CO_3^(2-),# #0.123*mol*L^-1#

#d.# #K^+#, #1.24xx10^-3*mol*L^-1#; #ClO_4^(-),# #1.24xx10^-3*mol*L^-1#

While SOME hydrolysis could occur for the carbonate ion,

#CO_3^(2-) + H_2O(l) rightleftharpoonsHCO_3^(-) + HO^-# we were not given the data to assess the concentration. What data do you need?
