O Levels Chemistry (5070)•5070/11/M/J/24

Explanation
Missing table data prevents identification
Steps:
- The question references a table of test results for substances X and Y, but no table is provided.
- Without the table, specific observations (e.g., precipitates, colors) cannot be matched to ion tests.
- Standard tests for ions like Ca²⁺ (white ppt with oxalate), halides (AgNO₃ ppts), or nitrates (brown ring) require those results to identify X and Y.
- Choices involve common ion pairs, but assignment relies on table evidence.
Why D is correct:
- Not enough information; cannot confirm without table.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Not enough information.
- B: Not enough information.
- C: Not enough information.
Final answer: Not enough information.
