Solution

A solution 'X' turns blue litmus red, so it must contain hydronium ions; another solution 'Y' turns red litmus blue and therefore must contain ​hydroxide ions. When X and Y are mixed together, the products will be a salt and water. If a piece of magnesium was put into solution X, hydrogen gas would be evolved.
