Question
Give scientific reason:
An aqueous solution of CH3COONa is basic.
✓

Answer

$CH _3 COONa$ is a salt, which produces strong base $( NaOH )$ and weak acid $\left( CH _3 COOH \right)$ in water. Hence, concentration of $OH ^{-}( aq )$ is more in comparison with the concentration of $H ^{+}( aq )$ in the solution and hence solution shows basic behaviour. As a result, an aqueous solution of $CH _3 COONa$ is basic in nature.
