a mixture of sodium, potassium, bromide, and chloride ions.
NaBr \, \rightleftharpoons \, Na^+ + Br^-
KCl \, \rightleftharpoons \, K^+ + Cl^-
Na^+ + Cl^- \, \rightleftharpoons \, NaCl
K^+ + Br^- \, \rightleftharpoons \, KBr
If you dissolved all of this in water, and let it dry out, you would have a mixture of all four possible salts:
KCl, \,\, NaCl, \,\, KBr, \,\, NaBr
